Once a wand'ring ne'er do well,

Just a vagrant roving fellow,

I went my way.



Life was just a joke to tell,

Like a lonely Punchinello,

My role was gay.



But I knew the joke was aimless,

Time went on, I liked the game less,

For you see,



Somewhere lurked a spark divine and,

I kept wond'ring whether mine

Would come to me.



Then my fortune turned and I found you;

Here you are with my arms around you.

You will never know what you've meant to me.

You're the prize that heaven has sent to me.

Here's a bright and beautiful world all new

Wrapped up in you.



Refrain:



You are love, here in my arms

Where you belong,

And here you will stay.

I'll not let you away;

I went day after day with you.

You are spring,

Bud of romance unfurl'd,

You taught me to see

One truth forever true.



You are love,

Wonder of all the world.

Where you go with me

Heaven will always be!



Repeat Refrain
