LASTING LOVE
(Hunt Stevens / Jack Ackerman)

as recorded by Kitty Kallen
1957


I believe the Lord above
Made me just for you to love,
Chose you, dear, from all the rest,
He knew I love you best!

Once I hear Him say to me,
"Loneliness wasn't meant to be,
Make a wish on stars above,
Then you find lasting love!"

Heaven must have heard my prayer,
For when I looked I found you there!
Now the world is mine at last,
'Cause I found lasting love!

Now each time you cling to me,
Heaven offers eternity,
Angels sing from up above,
They bless our lasting love!

Heaven must have heard my prayer,
For when I looked I found you there!
Now the world is mine at last,
'Cause I found lasting love!

Now each time you cling to me,
Heaven offers eternity,
Angels sing from up above,
They bless our lasting love,
They bless our lasting love!
