I used to think that love was just a fairy tale Until that first hello until that first smile But if I had to do it all again I wouldn't change a thing Cause this love is everlasting Suddenly life has new meaning to me There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of You wake up suddenly you're in love Girl you're everything a man could want and more One thousand words are not enough to say what I feel inside Holding hands as we walk along the shore Never felt like this before now you're all I'm living for Each day I pray this love affair would last forever There's beauty up above and things you never take notice of You wake and suddenly you're in love
