As recorded by STEVE LAWRENCE:

The Moon is bobbing up and down an ocean full of stars
This dull old world has taken on a new veneer
Tonight will always be a lasting souvenir

For you, for me, for evermore
It's bound to be for evermore
It's plain to see we've found by finding each other
The love we waited for

I'm yours, you're mine, and in our hearts
The happy ending starts
What a lovely world this world would be
With a world of love in store
For you, for me, for evermore

I'm yours, you're mine
(Orchestral Interlude)

What a lovely world this world would be
With a world of love in store
For you, for me, for evermore

As recorded by Shirley Jones and Jack Cassidy

Jack:
For you, for me, for evermore,

Shirley:
It's bound to be for evermore,

Jack:
It's plain to see,
We found by finding each other,
The love we waited for.

Shirley:
I'm yours, you're mine and in our hearts
The happy ending starts.

Both:
What a lovely world this world will be,
With a world of love in store
For you, for me, for evermore.

(Musical Break)

Jack:
Paradise cannot refuse us
Never such a happy pair

Shirley:
Everybody must excuse us
If we walk on air.

All the shadows now will lose us
Lucky stars are everywhere

Jack:
As a happy being
Here's what I'm foreseeing

Shirley:
I'm yours

Jack:
I'm yours

Shirley:
You're mine

Jack:
You're mine

Both:
And in our hearts

Jack:
The happy ending starts

Both:
What a lovely world this world will be,
With a world of love in store
For you, for me, for evermore.

as rec by Ella Fitzgerald w Nelson Riddle & his Orch  
July 18th 1959 hollywood


Paradise cannot refuse us,
Never such a happy pair!
Everybody must excuse us
If we walk on air!

All the shadows now will lose us,
Lucky stars are everywhere;
As a happy being,
Here's what I'm foreseeing;

For you, for me, for evermore,
It's bound to be for evermore!
It's plain to see, we've found by finding each other
The love we waited for.

I'm yours, you're mine, and in our hearts
The happy ending starts.
What a lovely world this world will be
With a world of love in store
For you, for me, for evermore.

What a lovely world this world will be
With a world of love in store
For you, for me, for evermore.
