Things Are Looking Up - Original - Fred Astaire

If I should suddenly start to sing

Or stand on my head or anything

Don’t think that I’ve lost my senses

It’s just that my happiness finally commences

The long, long ages of dull despair

Are turning into thin air

And it seems that suddenly

I’ve become the happiest man alive

Things are looking up

I’ve been looking the landscape over

And it’s covered with four leaf clovers

Oh, things are looking up

Since love looked up at me

Bitter was my cup

But no more will I be the mourner

For I’ve certainly turned the corner

Oh, things are looking up

Since love looked up at me

See the sunbeams?

Every one beams just because of you

Love’s in session

And my depression is unmistakably through

Things are looking up

It’s a great little world we live in

Oh, I’m as happy as a pup

Since love looked up at me
