Lyrics
Let me tell you what I wanna say
You’re the only one who can make me feel this way
My kind of lady
No better love could I embrace
No better heart, no other face
Can quite compare with you
You came along, and then, you mend my broken dreams
I was so down, and then as foolish as it seems
You gave me your affection
Yeah, baby, you came through
We’ll make it, you’ll see
In spite of those who say it’s wrong
This time we feel that we belong
Now, we can truly say
We’ll be together and that’s all we’ll ever need
We’ll love each other, that’s the way it’s gonna be
And nothin’ under the sun and moon
Can make us be apart
Oh, my honey
You know I’ll love you every day
When things go wrong, we’ll find a way
I’m so glad I met you
Much more than I can ever say
We’re making plans and holding hands just like before
We’ll try again, we’ll make amends along the road
It’s feelin’ good just like it should, this time we know
We’ll share each other’s happiness, for now and evermore
I’ve been wastin’ my life away
I’ve got a message for you today
To tell you that you are
My kind of lady
I’m not the same since I met you
All of my dreams had fallen through
And then you came along
One magic night when things went right, it was so fine (one magic night)
Looked in your eyes and realized that you were mine
And nothin’ under the sun and moon
Can make us be apart
Oh, my baby
You know I’ll love you all the way
When times get hard, we’ll smile and sing
I’m so glad I met you
I’ll love you more and more each day
We’re making plans and holding hands just like before
We’ll try again, we’ll make amends along the road
It’s feelin’ good just like it should, this time we know
We’ll share each other’s happiness for now and evermore!
