(So rare, so rare)
(So rare, so rare)


So rare, you’re like the fragrance of blossoms fair
Sweet as a breath of air
Fresh with the morning dew
So rare, you’re like the sparkle of old champagne
Orchids in cellophane
Couldn’t compare to you


You are perfection, you’re my idea
Of Angels singing the Ave Maria
For you’re an Angel, I breathe and live you
With every beat of the heart that I give you


So rare, this is a Heaven on Earth we share
Caring the way we care
Ours is a love so rare.


(So rare, so rare)
(So rare, so rare)


You are perfection, you’re my idea
Of Angels singing the Ave Maria
For you’re an Angel, I breathe and live you
With every beat of the heart that I give you


So rare, this is a Heaven on Earth we share
Caring the way we care
Ours is a love so rare.
