There's a kind of a hush, all over the world, tonight,

all over the world you can hear the sound of lovers in love!

You know what I mean?

Just the two of us, with nobody else in sight,

and I'm feelin' good just holdin' you tight!



So, listen very carefully, closer now and you will see

what I mean ( see what I mean? ) it isn't a dream ( I mean, it isn't a dream! )

the only sound that you will hear is when I whisper in your ear

"I love you!" ( I love you! ) forever and ever!



There's a kind of a hush, all over the world, tonight,

all over the world you can hear the sound of lovers in love!



There's a kind of a hush ( kind of a hush! )

all over the world! ( all over the world, tonight! )

All over the world ( you can hear the sound of lovers in love! )



You know what I mean?

Just the two of us ( two of us! ) and nobody else in sight,

there's nobody else and I'm feelin' good,

just holdin' you tight ( ever so tightly! )



So, listen very carefully, closer now and you will see

what I mean ( see what I mean? ) it isn't a dream ( I mean, it isn't a dream! )

the only sound that you will hear is when I whisper in your ear

"I love you!" forever and ever!



There's a kind of a hush ( kind of a hush! )

all over the world (a hush, all over the world, tonight! )

all over the world you can hear the sound

of lovers in love! ( I love you! )

You know what I mean? ( I love you! )

It isn't a dream! ( I love you! )

You know what I mean? ( La, la la la! )

I love you!
