A Sense of Wonder is the fifteenth studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison released in 1985. On first release, original pressings had to be recalled when the W. B. Yeats estate refused to allow Morrison's musical version of the poem "Crazy Jane on God" to be included, as they believed his poems should only be set to classical music. Morrison substituted "If You Only Knew" for the Yeats' recording.

Lyrics to "A Sense Of Wonder" song by Van Morrison: I walked in my greatcoat Down through the days of the leaves . No before after, yes after before We were shining our light into the days of blooming wonder In the eternal presence, in the presence of the flame. Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder Didn't I come to lift your fiery vision bright Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame. On and on and on and on we kept singing our song Over Newtonards and Comber, Gransha and the Ballystockart Road. With Boffyflow and Spike I said I could describe the leaves for Samuel and Felicity Rich, red browney, half burnt orange and green
A Sense Of Wonder is a plateau for Van Morrison: his first record for his new label, it draws upon and summarizes the last four albums he made for Warner Bros. which documented a period of spiritual awakening. A Sense of Wonder is a grand act of synthesis and overview, affirming the artist’s sense of place and self in terms of his.
