The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Here I am Just an ordinary man And my virtues are few And I'm amazed Every morning when I wake With a lady like you You're all the good things God put on this earth And you're so much more than I deserve And what did I ever do to win a lady like you Look at me I'm as common as can be But do you make me shine And look at you You're a lady through and through, So gracious and kind And when you sleep, it's always by my side I look at you and I'm mystified And what did I ever do to win a lady like you Heaven knows I'm less than perfect And I have found the very best But it's a mystery how someone like me Was chosen to be blessed with a lady like you You're all the good things God put on this earth And you're so much more than I deserve And what did I ever do to win a lady like you A lady like you
