I Can Tell

I overheard some words about you.
It sounded like you found a reason.
I could hardly believe that was true,
you were never one
for believing in reason.
So I stopped by to see for myself
If what I heard really was true
and looking at you
I Can Tell by the sparkle in your eyes
that things are going better.
It's written all over that fabulous smile
Everything?s coming together.
You never seemed to need a plan
Your life just rolled right on through
Now I hear that you're making plans
and doing all the things you said you could do
So I had to stop by to see
If what I heard really was true.
Looking at you.
I Can Tell by the sparkle in your eyes
that things are going better.
It's written all over that fabulous smile
Everything's coming together.
You always seemed to have good luck
I guess an angel smiled down on you.
But this is much more than a matter of luck,
you were always one
who did as you wanted to.
So I had to stop by to see
If it really was true
and looking at you.
I Can Tell by the sparkle in your eyes
that things are going better.
It's written all over that fabulous smile
Everything?s coming together.
Hard times are still on my mind,
I recall when they had you down.
When I heard you were back on your feet
I smiled quietly
and made sure I came around.
Yes, I rushed right over to see
if what I wanted to believe was true
and looking at you
I Can Tell by the sparkle in your eyes
that things are going better.
It's written all over that fabulous smile
Everything?s coming together.
