lyrics

You’re the one that I love most,
The one that I hold close to my heart.
The first time that I saw
Your face put me at awe, from the start

There is no way to describe,
No words can define, you’re not from heaven but further above
When I look at you, I’m in love.

The day I fell for you,
You were wearing yellow shoes, time stood still.
My suit was second hand,
I was singing in a band, we were dressed to kill.

It’s just like paradise, your red lips feel so nice
One kiss from you is never enough
When I look at you, I’m in love.

There’s one thing that we both understand
And I feel it when I’m holding your hand
I’ll always love you tenderly
And that’s the way you feel for me.

Your beauty’s so divine,
To others I am blind, it feels so right.
And if another man should ever take your hand
I will lose my sight.

Now as I touch your soft skin,
You send me love within,
It’s not from heaven but further above,
When I look at you, I’m in love.
