Lyrics[]
Ravenal:
Once a wand'ring ne'er-do-well,
Just a vagrant roving fellow,
I went my way
Life was just a joke to tell,
Like a lonely Punchinello,
My role was gay
But I knew the joke was aimless,
Time went on, I liked the game less,
For, you see
Somewhere lurked a spark divine
And I kept wond'ring whether mine
Would come to me
Then my fortune turned and I found you
Here you are, with my arms around you
You will never know what you've meant to me
Magnolia:
You're the prize that heaven has sent to me
Ravenal:
Here's a bright and beautiful world, all new,
Wrapped up in you
You are love,
Here in my arms
Where you belong
And here you will stay;
I'll not let you away—
I want day after day
With you
You are spring,
Bud of romance unfurled;
You taught me to see
One truth forever true
You are love,
Wonder of all the world
Where you go with me,
Heaven will always be
Magnolia:
You are love,
Here in my arms
Where you belong,
And here you will stay;
I'll not let you away—
I want day after day
With you
You are spring,
Bud of romance unfurled;
You taught me to see
One truth forever true—
Both:
You are love,
Wonder of all the world
Where you go with me,
Heaven will always be
