"Reflections On The Mirth Of Creativity" lyrics

Woke up this morning there was something dawning on me
Something I'd never seen, someone I'd never been
Came down for coffee and I could not find
Where I'd left my troubled mind
Opened the windows and the day blew in
It was fresh and new and it caressed my skin
It set me reeling, it was such a feeling
That it made me smile for the first time in a long while

But don't ask me how
I just don't know
Don't ask me why
I've got nothing to do but smile

And when I hit the street, felt light on my feet
Like if I tried, I might just fly
And every single face I see
Had a smile for me like I was royalty or something
The sun was shining on the avenue
And the shadows knew just what to do
They kinda parted as I walked on by
And the clouds went off to some other part of the sky

But don't ask me how
I just don't know
Don't ask me why
I've got nothing to do but smile

When I walked up to a traffic light
And to my delight it was set just right
I didn't even have to break my pace
It was like I owned the whole damn place
And all the birds were singing in the trees
I was hearing some amazing melodies
Before I knew it was whistling along
So I sat right down and wrote this song

But don't ask me how
I just don't know
Don't ask me why
I've got nothing to do but smile
