LYRICS:

I’m in love with world today
For today I am in love with world
In love with the world
Just for today I’m in love with the world

I’m in love
With the dogs in the park
[barking]
And the kids on the train
[shrieking]

I’m in love
with the birds on the edge
[bobbing]
of my shrink’s window ledge
[nodding]

I’m in love with world today
For today I am in love with world
In love with the world
Just for today I’m in love with the world
So in love with the world

I’m in love
With his appliquéd jeans
[homemade]
And her Beastie Boys tee
[X-Large]

I’m in love
With the Strand’s outdoor racks
[bargain]
And the rats on the tracks
[pizza]
And the tourists in line
For the Top of the Rock
And the Amazon vans
Jamming up every block

And Deb’s “Oy” and her “Yo”
And Bob’s “L-O-V-E”
And the new Kosciuszko
And that old tulip tree

And that Film Forum seat
That shows Jim and Joe’s names
And my arthritic hands
And my varicose veins
And the way that I feel
From my hat to my shoes
Every time that I see you
Walk into a room

I’m in love with world today
For today I am in love with world
In love with the world
Just for today I’m in love with the world
