Particularly Splendid

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Windmills a-turnin' and the fireplace a-burnin' On a snowy late November day Mama dipped the soup ladle as we gathered around the table And we all bowed our heads to pray [Chorus] Oh, and it was splendid Particularly splendid The colors all blended In a magical way Oh yes, it was splendid Particularly splendid I'm so sorry it ended I sure wanted it to stay [Verse 2] 50 to 50 we were tied in a championship game With only seconds to play The basketball flew down the court, and I shot it I was high school queen for a day [Chorus] Oh, and it was splendid Particularly splendid The colors all blеnded In a magical way Oh yes, it was splendid Particularly splеndid I'm so sorry it ended I sure wanted it to stay [Verse 3] The jukebox played "Rock Around the Clock" Then the Platters sang "Only You" My teenage dreamboat held me so close Young love had really come true [Verse 4] The first time I ever nearly lost my mind Was the night we went to see the King And all I could do was sit there paralyzed While I watched him play his guitar and sing [Chorus] Oh, it was splendid Particularly splendid The colors all blended In a magical way Oh yes, it was splendid Particularly splendid I'm so sorry it ended I sure wanted it to stay [Verse 5] Many precious moments fill the hands of time As we travel 'cross this life in space And many precious people look into our eyes With a message of amazin' grace [Verse 6] And many times we wish we could just step back To a place where life was so sweet With no pretenses and no defenses A time we wanna capture and keep [Chorus] Oh so, it was splendid Particularly splendid And the colors all blended In a magical way Yes, yes, it was splendid Particularly splendid I'm so sorry it ended I sure wanted it to stay [Outro] Oh, yes it was splendid Particularly splendid Yes, the colors all blended In a magical way, yay, yay Yes, it was splendid
