Nothing could have prepared me for you

(Mick Kennedy)

The green waters of the Nile,
Mona Lisa’s mysterious smile
They pale against the things you say and do
The leaning tower of Pisa town,
The Grand Canyon one mile down
Nothing could have prepared me for you
Nothing could have prepared me for you

The hottest day in mid July,
The moon the stars that adorn the sky
They pale against the things you say and do
The view from the tallest tower,
Nature’s most exquisite flower
Nothing could have prepared me for you
Nothing could have prepared me for you

Nothing, nothing, nothing in this whole wide world
Nothing could have prepared me for you
Nothing, nothing, nothing in this whole wide world
Nothing could have prepared me for you
Nothing could have prepared me for you

The red sky as the sun goes down,
All the jewels in all the crowns
They pale against the things you say and do
The blackness of the darkest nights,
The frenzied glare of city lights
Nothing could have prepared me for you
Nothing could have prepared me for you

Many things in this world,
Are wonderful to behold
But they pale against the things you say and do
The cruel and kind hand of fate,
The thin line between love and hate
Nothing could have prepared me for you
Nothing could have prepared me for you

Nothing, nothing, nothing in this whole wide world
Nothing could have prepared me for you
Nothing, nothing, nothing in this whole wide world
Nothing could have prepared me for you
Nothing could have prepared me for you
