Lyrics[]

The charm of you is comparable
To a Christmas tree with toys
With little girls and boys
Then first they see the tree

The thrill of you is comparable to the thrill
I felt when I first learned the heart could sigh
And you were the reason why
And yet, and yet if we two have never met

I'd know your grace that warms a face
That only the angels get,
And so comparing you with all of these things,
Is all that I can do

Because they add up to the charm of you
So comparing you with all of these things,
Is all that I can do
Because they add up to the charm of you
