magnificent outpouring

it is said that all the good things

must come to him who can pretend

he doesn't have to wait

for as surely as the light of day

must come to drive the night away

the needles and the pins

that's where the line begins

with your magnificent outpouring

of that old familiar story

that's been used a million times

to ease a million minds

there are times when i have told you

that htere must be two of us

to try to work things out

but if i can't see you every day

then i must hide my thoughts away

and see you when i can

and try to understand

with your magnificent outpouring

of that old familiar story

that's been used a million times

to ease a million minds

so let us treat our love likeany game

to fan the flames would really be a sin

for as surely as the snow must fall

i shall be waiting for your call

pretending it is spring

and you'll be mine again

with your magnificent outpouring

of that old familiar story

that's been used a million times

to ease a million minds
