And others...


Any time at all you're near me, 

'Cause you're near, you cheer me. 

That's a very special reason, for a very special love.


We don't need to speak a word, dear. 

Still each word is heard, dear. 

That's a very special reason, for a very special love. 


A heart is just a heart, nothing more, nothing less. 

Just a heart

until the day that love comes to stay forever. 


And our love will last a lifetime, 

As a man-and-wife time. 

That's a very special reason for a very special love. 


(short bridge)


Yes, our love will last a lifetime, 

As a man-and-wife time. 

That's a very special reason for a very special love. 


Happy girl and lucky boy

in a wondrous world of joy

in a very special love.
