Lyrics for What a Wonderful Man

He was leading us through the dark He was sayin that "love goes on" I was wanting some "ice cream" He knew exactly what I meant From the driver's seat in the dark He popped a tape in the dash of his car And when the singer started to scream I knew exactly what he meant I never knew for sure What a wonderful man he was What a sensible man he was What a wonderful man he was I never knew for sure What a wonderful man he was What a sensuous man he was What a wonderful man he was Why do we love what is wrong? Big devil told us to sing along And like a loving flock we obey Except him, he went his own way I never knew for sure What a wonderful man he was Till the day I found out his cause Was to do it for all of us
