About How Glad I Am

"(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am" is a song written by Jimmy Williams and Larry Harrison. In the USA, its best-known recorded version is that by Nancy Wilson, a hit single for her, in the summer of 1964. The single went to No. 11 on the Hot 100, as well as No. 2 on the Billboard Pop-Standard Singles chart. Wilson, who had been recording since 1960, was afforded her first Top 40 hit with "... How Glad I Am": (Nancy Wilson quote:)"I went into the studio with the idea of recording a Top 40 kind of hit [with '. .. How Glad I Am']. Actually though I didn't sing any differently..... It's the material itself that did it [along with] the arrangement."In April 1965 "(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am" received the Grammy Award for Best Rhythm & Blues Recording: Wilson was reportedly surprised by the categorization of "... How Glad I Am" as R&B as she would have classed it as a pop record, and the track had not been a major R&B hit peaking at No. 45 on the Cash Box R&B chart (the Billboard R&B chart was dormant throughout 1964). Nancy Wilson would have one more Top 40 hit subsequent to "(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am": "Face It Girl, It's Over", which reached No. 29 in 1968.

My love has no beginning, my love has no end
No front or back and my love won't bend
I'm in the middle, lost in a spin loving you
And you don't know, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know how glad I am

My love has no bottom, my love has no top
My love won't rise and my love won't drop
I'm in the middle and I can't stop loving you
And you don't know, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know how glad I am

I wish I were a poet so I could express
What I'd, what I'd like to say yeah
I wish I were an artist so I could paint a picture
Of how I feel, of how I feel today

My love has no walls on either side
That makes my love wider than wide
I'm in the middle and I can't hide loving you

And you don't know, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know how glad I am

And you don't know, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know how glad I am

How glad I am 
How glad I am 
How glad I am 
How glad I am 
How glad I am
