Jack:
You are love, here in my arms
Where you belong,
And here you will stay.
I'll not let you away
I want day after day with you.

Shirley:
You are spring,
Bud of romance unfurled,
You taught me to see
One truth, forever true.

Both:
You are love,
Wonder of all the world.
Where you go with me
Heaven will always be!

(Musical Break)

Jack:
You are love, here in my arms
Where you belong,
And here you will stay.
I'll not let you away;
I want day after day with you.

Shirley:
You are spring,
Bud of romance unfurled,
You taught me to see
One truth, forever true.

Both:
You are love,
Wonder of all the world.
Where you go with me
Heaven will always be!


The following verse was not used by Shirley & Jack in this recording.


Once a wand'ring ne'er do well,
Just a vagrant roving fellow,
I went my way.

Life was just a joke to tell,
Like a lonely Punchinello,
My role was gay.

But I knew the joke was aimless,
Time went on, I liked the game less,
For you see,

Somewhere lurked a spark divine and,
I kept wond'ring whether mine
Would come to me.

Then my fortune turned and I found you;
Here you are with my arms around you.
You will never know what you've meant to me.
You're the prize that heaven has sent to me.
Here's a bright and beautiful world all new
Wrapped up in you.
