Lyrics

Holdin' on, that's what I do
Since I met you, and it wont be long;
Would you notice if I left you?
And it's fine for some;
'Cause you're not the one, you're not the one;
There, there, there, there, there, there!

All night long, I lay on my pillow;
These things are wrong, I can't sleep here!
So lovely, so loving, so lovely

I have decided to leave you forever
I have decided to start things from here
Thunder and lightning wont change what i'm feelin'
And the daffodils look lovely today
And the daffodils look lovely today, look lovely today

Through, in your eyes, I can see the disguise!
Through, in your eyes, I can see the dismay!
Has anyone seen lightning?
Has anyone looked lovely

And the daffodils look lovely today;
And the daffodils look lovely today!
Look lovely today!

Look lovely, look lovely;
Look lovely, look lovely;
Look lovely, look lovely;
Look lovely, look lovely;
Look lovely, look lovely;
Look lovely, look lovely;
Look lovely, look lovely;
Look lovely, look lovely
Look lovely!

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah;
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah;
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah;
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah!

(The lament of the monastary proceeds after the music stops, and the hymn becomes once again foreboding.)
