THE WONDER OF YOU
(Baker Knight)

Ray Peterson - 1959
Ronnie Hilton - 1959
Elvis Presley - 1970


When no-one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on

And you're always there to lend a hand
In everything I do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you

And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I'm a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything

I guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me like you do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you

THE WONDER OF YOU
(Baker Knight)

Lesley Garrett


When no one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me love and consolation
You give me hope to carry on
And you try to show your love for me
In everything you do
That’s the wonder, the wonder of you.

And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I’m a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything
And you’re always there to lend a hand
In all I try to do
That’s the wonder, the wonder of you

You’ll never know how much I love you
My love is yours and yours alone
And it’s so wonderful to have you
To have you for my very own
Guess I’ll never know the reason why
You love me like you do
That’s the wonder, the wonder of you.
