When I was young and foolish, my mama said to me

One day, son, an angel will come your way

Not from up above, but she'll show you how to love

In a way that you will think is heavenly-y-y-y

And though it may seem absurd, everyone of my mama's words

Came true the day my darlin' came to me

Oh Rebecca you taught me how to live

You had some lovin' you had to give

And I'm so glad you gave it all to me-ee-ee-ee



'Cause I love you so, Rebecca

My-y heart's aglow, Rebecca

And so you know, Rebecca

I'll tell you each and every day

Right by your side, Rebecca

My-y love won't hide, Rebecca

Or be kept inside, Rebecca

I want the world to see



Now I look into your eyes, once again I'm hypnotised

I can hardly hear the words the preacher's sayin'

Then I hear you say I do, as I pledge my love to you

Oh I know you are the answer to all my pray-ayin'

In your gown of satin lace, as the veil falls from your face

The kiss we share shows how our life will be

Oh Rebecca, you taught me how to live

You had some lovin' you had to give

And I'm so glad you gave it all to me-ee-ee-ee



'Cause I love you so, Rebecca

My-y heart's aglow, Rebecca

And so you know, Rebecca

I'll tell you each and every day

Right by your side, Rebecca

My-y love won't hide, Rebecca

Or be kept inside, Rebecca

I want the world to see



Oh I love you so, Rebecca

My-y heart's aglow, Rebecca

And so you know, Rebecca

I'll tell you each and every day

Right by your side, Rebecca

My-y love won't hide, Rebecca

Or be kept inside, Rebecca

I want the world to see [fade]
