Lyrics for Song: Too Marvelous For Words
Lyrics for Album: Early Concepts [2003]
You're just too marvelous, too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamorous and that old standby amorous
It's all too wonderful, I'll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough, I mean they just aren't swell enough
You're much too much and just too very, very
To ever be in Webster's Dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous, too marvelous for words
You're much, you're too much and just too very, very
To ever be, to ever be in Webster's Dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous, tell you that you're marvelous
Tell you that you're marvelous, too marvelous for words

Too Marvelous For Words
Dave Brubeck's 'Too Marvelous For Words' stands as a quintessential example of his mid-career jazz compositions, blending complex rhythmic structures with lyrical elegance. Recorded for the compilation 'Early Concepts,' the track exemplifies Brubeck's mastery of the piano trio format, characterized by his signature use of unconventional time signatures and sophisticated harmonic progressions. The song reflects the broader American jazz landscape of the 1950s and 60s, where artists like Brubeck pushed the boundaries of traditional forms while maintaining melodic accessibility. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to convey deep emotion through intricate instrumentation, making it a staple in collections dedicated to the evolution of cool jazz and the legacy of the Brubeck quartet. |
