I just can't help believin'
When she smiles up soft and gentle
With a trace of misty morning
And the promise of tomorrow in her eyes
I just can't help believin'
When she's lying close beside me
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs
This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day
Oh, I just can't help believin'
When she slips her hand in my hand
And it feels so small and helpless
As my fingers fold around it like a glove
I just can't help believin'
When she's whispering her magic
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love
This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day
For more than just a day

Just got home from Illinois
Lock the front door, oh boy
Got to sit down
Take a rest on the porch
Imagination sets in
Pretty soon I'm singin'
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
There's a giant doing cartwheels
A statue wearin' high heels
Look at all the happy creatures
Dancing on the lawn
A dinosaur Victrola
List'ning to Buck Owens
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
Tambourines and elephants
Are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride
On the flyin' spoon
Doo, doo doo
Wond'rous apparition
Provided by magician
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
Tambourines and elephants
Are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride
On the flyin' spoon
Doo, doo doo
Bother me tomorrow
Today I'll buy no sorrows
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
Forward troubles Illinois
Lock the front door, oh boy
Look at all the happy creatures
Dancing on the lawn
Bother me tomorrow
Today I'll buy no sorrows
Doo, doo, doo
Lookin' out my back door
