Better Than Anything - Al Jarreau

Better than sailing at midnight

Better than diving for pearls

Better than skiing in Aspen

Better than feeding the squirrels

Better than finding a horseshoe

Better than losing your head

Better than anything thought of Better than anything said

Better than singing right out loud

Or being spotted in a crowd

Better than anything except being in love

Do you know, being in love

Better than four sets of Dizzy

Better than Count Basie’s band

Better than Rollins and Coltrane

Better than being on the stand

Better than Ella Fitzgerald

Better than Miles' latest news

Better than Bill Evans' ballads

Better than Joe Williams' blues

Better than hearing Lady Day

Or checking in at Monterey

Better than anything except being in love

Do you know, being in love

It’s a circus

Elephants dancing

Clowns on parade

Better than peanuts and popcorn

Fresh lemonade

Better than rides on the midway

Better than seals blowing horns

Better than men shot from cannons

Better than fresh ears of corn

Better than balancing a wire

Or watching tigers leap through fire

Better than anything except being in love
