Written in 1937 with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. Johnny was one of the great lyricists of the era..He was also one of the few that both wrote, and could sing amazingly well. ❤
I first heard this song upon watching the 1947 film noir “Dark Passage” by Delmer Daves … Delmer also directed the classic “310 to Yuma” 1957 original … “Too marvelous for words” is the love theme between Bogart and Bacall in Dark Passage, one of my favorite Noirs, filmed in San Francisco.😊
You're just too marvelous Too marvelous for words Like "glorious", "glamorous" And that old standby "amorous" It's all too wonderful I will never find the words That say enough Tell enough I mean, ain'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 Just like "glorious", "glamorous" And that old standby "amorous" I'll never find the words That do say enough Tell enough I mean, ain't swell enough You are much, much, much Much too much and oh so "very, very" To ever wind up In the thick, old dictionary And so I am borrowing A love song from those birds To tell you that you're marvelous Say that you're wonderful Tell you that you're marvelous Too marvelous for words!
This interpretation is just too marvelous for words… 😅 The Chico Hamilton arrangement is perfect…Matt’s voice really swings here… Being a big Sinatra fan… I have to say this is my favorite version… and have several playlists of all the recorded versions of this song 😅

BRAVOOO VERY NICE YOUR VOICE IS THE BEST👏👏
So glad you're enjoying the music, Nicola! Thank you!
You're just too marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like "glorious", "glamorous"
And that old standby "amorous"
It's all too wonderful
I will never find the words
That say enough
Tell enough
I mean, ain'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
Just like "glorious", "glamorous"
And that old standby "amorous"
I'll never find the words
That do say enough
Tell enough
I mean, ain't swell enough
You are much, much, much
Much too much and oh so "very, very"
To ever wind up
In the thick, old dictionary
And so I am borrowing
A love song from those birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
Say that you're wonderful
Tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words!
Anyone from 2021? Is so Gooooooodddd
So glad you enjoyed it!!
