It's hard to remember that one September
All the frontiers through which I crept,
well the displaced we forget
But the dope and the girls and the wine,
oh hell, they were so fine
What a wonderful, wonderful world
No, I can't remember not any December
It seemed I was always leaving
maybe you know that feeling?
But I never forgot my lines
I still hear them all the time
What a wonderful, wonderful world.
The dope and the wine and the stage,
They gave back to me what I gave.
What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful -

    "Excuse me, Miss, may I have this dance? I think I'm about to have.. a heart attack."

    faints There's just something about this man. You ever seen a waltz in a concert Pit? Like nothing else in the world.

    "The great hall was filled with the dancing of the damned, sadly smiling into each other's eyes as they were obliged to say good bye once again to this earth."

    I always think of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" whenever I listen to this song.

    Great ending to a wonderful album.
