World, Take Me Back

The world is full of wonderful things,
a bushel of wonderful things for me to believe in
So world, take me back
I want to be part of the human race again

And bid good-bye to all my trouble and tears
I've wasted so many odd years
It's time to get even
So world, take me back
I want to let laughter light up my face again

Oh, no more peeking through the keyhole
I intend to have my own key
No more sneaking past the parlor
From now on, it's me sitting on the settee.

Oh, today's a day to holler about
for after just sitting life out
since heavens know when.

My step has a spring and a drive
I'm suddenly young and alive
You wonderful world,
Take me back again!

(From the Musical Hello Dolly)
