My Cheer Up Song

When I was little my mum used to sing this to me all the time. She was a professional actress and singer at the time and I spent my early years sitting backstage on various musicals and Shakespearean productions. It always strikes me that we remember much more subconsiously of our early years than we realise. So this is my cheer up song. I play it loud and often shouting along with the chorus as I thunder round Northumberland. Im sure someone knows it.

Once I believed that when love came to me

It would come with rockets, bells and poetry

But with me and you it just started quietly and grew

And believe it or not

Now there's something groovy and good

Bout whatever we got

And it's getting better

Growing stronger warm and wilder

Getting better everyday, better everyday

I don't feel all turned on and starry eyed

I just feel a sweet contentment deep inside

Holding you at night just seems kind of natural and right

And it's not hard to see

That it isn't half of what it's going to turn out to be

Cause it's getting better

Growing stronger, warm and wilder

Getting better everyday, better everyday

Ba da da da da da da da da da da da

And I don't mind waitin', don't mind waitin'

Cause no matter how long it takes

The two of us know

That it's getting better

Growing stronger, warm and wilder

Getting better everyday, better everyday'
