I Feel Like a Song Comin' On
Dean Martin · Memories Are Made of This [Bear Family] [1997]
And I'm a-warning you
It's a victorious, happy and glorious new strain
I feel a song coming on
It's a melody full of the laughter of children out after the rain
You'll hear a tuneful story
Ringing through you
Love and glory, hallelujah
And now that my troubles are gone
Let those heavenly drums go on drumming
'Cause I feel a song coming on
You'll hear a tuneful story
Ringing through you
Love and glory, hallelujah
And now that my troubles are gone
Let those heavenly drums go on drumming
'Cause I feel a song coming on
