Текст песни When Mabel Comes in The Room

Somehow the ceiling seems a little higher
From the very moment I see mabel come in the room.
It feels like someone lit a roaring fire
But it's just the glow I get when Mabel comes in the room.
The faded sofa stands a little prouder,
That bunch of artificial flowers might even bloom.
I can feel my heartbeat beat a little louder
The very moment I see Mabel come in the room.

The dingy curtains seems a little brighter,
I can hear the tinny piano playin' a gorgeous song.
The grouchy doorman seems a bit politer,
It's his way of saying, "Welcome home, you've been gone too long."
The day you left us was a small disaster,
You took the love and light and laughter and left the gloom.
But I can feel my heartbeat beat a little faster
And I can swiftly shed the strain of the years
The very moment her first footstep appears,
The very moment I see Mabel come in the room.

La-da-da-da-da la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da dom bom ra-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da la-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da da-da-da-da la-da-da-da-da-da
The faded sofa stands a little prouder,
That bunch of artificial flowers might even bloom.
And I can feel my heartbeat beat a little louder
And I can swiftly shed the strain of the years
The very moment her first footstep appears,
The very moment I see Mabel come in the room.
