Too Marvelous For Words

- words by Johnny Mercer, music by Richard A. Whiting

- as recorded March 3, 1937 by Bing Crosby with the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra.



I search for phrases

To sing your praises

But there aren't any magic adjectives

To tell you all you are!



You're just too marvelous

Too marvelous for words

Like glorious, glamourous

And that old standby, amorous

It's all too wonderful

I'll never find the words

That say enough, tell enough

I mean, they just aren't swell enough



You're much too much

And just too very, very

To ever be in Webster's Dictionary

And so I'm borrowing

A love song from the birds

To tell you that you're marvelous

Too marvelous for words
