Verse 1
I was a humdrum person
Leasing a life apart,
When art flew in through my window wide
And quickened my humdrum heart.
Art flew in through my window,
I was so happy then.
But after art had stayed a little while,
Art flew out again.
Refrain
Wattis this thing called art?
This funny thing called art?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day.
It took my heart and threw it away.
Thats why I ask the lord in heaven above,
Wattis this thing called love?
Verse 2
It gave me days of sunshine,
It gave me nights of cheer,
It made my life an enchanted dream
Till something else came near it,
I felt the winter's chill,
And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love it still.
Repeat refrain
