<br>

When it all come true<br>

Just the way you planned<br>

It's funny but the bells don't ring<br>

It's a quiet thing<br>

When you hold the world<br>

In your trembling hand<br>

You think you'd hear a choir singing<br>

But it's a quiet thing<br>

There are no exploding fire works<br>

Where's the roaring of the crowd<br>

Maybe it's the strange new atmosphere<br>

Way up here among the clouds<br>

<br>

Happiness comes in on tiptoe<br>

Well, what do you know<br>

It's a quiet thing<br>

A very quiet thing...<br>
