........... that I love you so
Awake or sleeping
My hearts's in your keeping
And calling to you soft and low

My wonderful one
Whenever I'm dreaming
Love's lovelight a-gleaming I see
My wonderful one
How my arms ache to hold, dear
To cuddle and fold you to me

Just you, only you 
In the shadowy twilight
In silvery moonlight 
There's none like you, I adore you
My life I'll live for you,
Oh, my wonderful, wonderful one

As recorded by VERA LYNN:

My wonderful one, whenever I'm dreaming
'Tis lovelight a-gleaming I see
My wonderful one, my heart I would fold you
Forever to hold you to me

Though bright be the light of stars shining o'er me
And golden the rays of the sun
I long for the splendour of eyes true and tender
My wonderful, wonderful one

(Orchestral Break)

(Though bright be the light of stars shining o'er me)
(And golden the rays of the sun)
I long for the splendour of eyes true and tender
My wonderful, wonderful one
