Anyone help me find a song? Think it's 70s

It's very similar to 'it's all too beautiful', but that's not it.

I've never been able to hear the lyrics properly something like 'it's a miracle'

I think I know!!

Wait 2 minutes.....Let me find it.

This one? Supertramp?

I've just been having my Friday night i-tunes night and this will go on for 24 hours into Saturday.

I was halfway through Avalon, and Bryan Ferry, then Supertramp just came into my mind...

They even sing "all the time" so I think this is the one @BishopFrownofStThigh ??

Hope so

Good shout!

Actually it is "There are times..." but I think this could be the song as other clues from OP seem to fit.

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, playfully watching me
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am
I said, watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
Liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're Acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!
Oh, take it take it yeah
But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am
'Cause I was feeling so logical
D-d-digital
One, two, three, five
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It's getting unbelievable

@FreshwaterBay - The Logical Song! Love it. Reminds me of German exchange in my teens.

Yay! The Logical Song - one of my favourite Supertramp tracks.

I wish the OP would come back and say whether her song is any of those suggested here.
