There are days when I don't feel like getting out of bed
Days when I am out of sorts and filled with dread
When I want to dive down deep and cover up my head
The days when my whole body seems to feel like lead
And there are times when I'm so busy
That I think I'll burst
When I've overbooked again and days are interspersed
With all the little things that make me think
My life is cursed
And I just seem to stumble on all unrehearsed
But then Cecilia sings, and when Cecilia sings
Mozart shines again, Rossini's genius rings
The coldest winter's day can feel like the end of spring
And I can fly again, oh, when Cecilia sings
And there are days when God's in heaven
And the world's at peace
When the sky is blue and clouds look like
The golden fleece
When the worries of the day resolve
And troubles cease
When the furrow on my brow becomes a little crease
Oh, and the times when I could dance
Away the day and night
When I'm in love with all the world
And everything's alright
When I'm at one with natures beauty
And I think I might
Just go away and live in solitude and out of sight
And then Cecilia sings, and when Cecilia sings
Mozart shines again, Rosini's genius rings
And beauty can be seen in all the plainest things
She brings me home again, oh, when Cecilia sings
If music has the charms to soothe the savage breast
It also has the power to make a heart beat faster
To send our spirit soaring while our ears are blessed
To let us see the world through perfect crystal glass
So, when Cecilia sings, ah, when Cecilia sings
Mozart shines again, Rosini's genius rings
My soul takes flight on endless trills
And on angels wings
She brings me truth again, ah, when Cecilia sings
She brings me truth again, ah, when Cecilia sings
