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 fashioned you
And when she was done
You were all those good things
Rolled into one

You're like a plaintive melody,
That never lets me be,
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
