As a boy I had this dream
Thought I’d follow it down
To see where it leads and lo and behold
Lo and behold
Lo and behold

As the moon and stars looked on
I’d be sending my prayers
Above and beyond and lo’ and behold
Lo and behold
Lo and behold

All the sadness of my world
Would change before my eyes
And all the joy it would unfurl
Like a face I recognize

For once you’ve banished fear and doubt
You can go it alone
With or without and lo and behold
Lo and behold
Lo and behold

If you know what love is for
You’ve discovered the key
That can open the door and lo and behold…
All the madness of my world
Would change before my eyes
With all the joy it could unfurl
Like a face I recognize

In this world of laughter and tears
When you’re ready to learn
It’s then the teacher appears and lo and behold
Lo and behold
Lo and behold

Yeah...now that you suggested it.
Ron's a legend in the making. Let's see that rating get up over 6.
An 8 for me.

No, but there are vague similarities- intonations of Ray Davies' voice.

I'm pretty sure he's doing all right.

It sounded like David Byrne to me at one point!

Not sure why people are hating on Ron here, so what if it sounds like Kinks a bit. Bunch of pompous hard-to-satisfy RP listeners
Horrible song, a pale copy of Kinks style.
Not The Kinks, nor anywhere near them...
Love the voice
Hearing for the first time. The feeling reminds me of being at Woodstock when Sha Na Na came out on stage
