[Verse 1]
My heart went leaping the day you came along
Forgot the weeping the day you came along
Before I knew it, I hummed a little song
The day you came along
[Verse 2]
I only drifted before you came along
The fog was lifted before you came along
I sent the blackbirds right back where they belong
The day you came along
[Chorus]
Men have conquered nations
Other men have set them free
Pioneers have crossed the sea
Ah, you can turn the pages through the ages, but to me
'Twas the most eventful day in history
[Verse 3]
Two souls were mated the day you came along
A world created, the day you came along
One glance convinced me I knew I wasn’t wrong
The day you came along
[Chorus]
Men have conquered nations
Other men have set them free
Pioneers have crossed the sea
You can turn the pages through the ages, but to me
'Twas the most eventful day in history
[Verse 4]
Two souls were mated the day you came along
A world created, the day you came along
One glance convinced me I knew I wasn’t wrong
The day you came along
