Mary Poppins Returns Original Soundtrack

I needed a distraction today. Much of the what I loved about the original Mary Poppins was the music. I have not seen the movie and I thought today would be the perfect  day to explore the music. I think it would be nice of I had a little preview before enjoying the film.

Here are the details from the first song.

Music by Marc Shaiman; lyrics by Scott Wittman

Performed by Lin-Manuel Miranda

Lyrics

When the early morning hours have come and gone

Through the misty morning showers I greet the dawn

For when its light has hit the ground

There’s lots of treasures to be found

Underneath the lovely London sky

Though the lamps I’m turning down, please don’t feel blue

For in this part of London town, the light shines through

Don’t believe the things you’ve read

You never know what’s up ahead

Underneath the lovely London sky

Have a pot of tea, mend your broken cup

There’s a different point of view awaiting you

If you would just look up

I know yesterday you had to borrow from your chums

Seems the promise of tomorrow’ll never come

But since you dreamed the night away

Tomorrow’s here; it’s called today

So count your blessings, you’re a lucky guy

For you’re underneath the lovely London sky!

Listen, soon this slump’ll disappear; it won’t be long

Sooner than you think you’ ll hear some bright new song

So hold on tight to those you love

And maybe soon from up above

You’ll be blessed, so keep on looking high

While you’re underneath the lovely London sky

Lovely London sky

I was not disappointed. In fact, I have added it to a playlist and find it quite relaxing.
