Yo're like a lover's dream in the Spring
A song of the trees and the birds
All I can do is say it
Too beautiful for words

You're like a sweet refrain ever clear
A strain that the angels prefer
All I can do is play it
Too beautiful for words

Like the music of a Berlin or a Gershwin
Or even a moonlight serenade
Though I can't compare with Berlin or with Gershwin
To me you'll always be a perfect rhapsody

For you bring an inspiration to sing
A song that can never be heard
You're just a lovely love song
Too beautiful for words

(Orchestral Interlude)

Like the music of a Berlin or a Gershwin
Or even a moonlight serenade
Though I can't compare with Berlin or with Gershwin
To me you'll always be a perfect rhapsody

For you bring an inspiration to sing
A song that can never be heard
You're just a lovely love song
Too beautiful for words
