Lyrics[]
Life was a song
You came along
I've laid awake the whole night through
If I ever dared
To think you cared
This is what I'd say to you:
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Nature patterned you
And when she was done
You were all the sweet things
Rolled up in one
You're like a plaintive melody
That never lets me free
But I'm content
The angels must have sent you
And they meant you
Just for me
But I'm content
The angels must have sent you
And they meant you
Just for me
