God gave the wise ones their wisdom
And to the poets their dreams
To father and mother their love for each other
But he left me out, so it seems
I wandered around broken-hearted
Thinking life was an empty affair
But when God gave me you, it was then that I knew
He had given me more than my share.
With someone like a you, a love so sweet and true
l'd like to leave it all behind
And go and find a place that’s known to God alone
Just a spot to call our own
We’ll find a perfect peace where joys never cease
Somewhere beneath the starry, starry sky just you and I.
We’ll build a sweet little nest somewhere out in the west
And let the rest of the world go by.
And to the poets their dreams
To father and mother their love for each other
But he left me out, so it seems
I wandered around broken-hearted
Thinking life was an empty affair
But when God gave me you, it was then that I knew
He had given me more than my share.
With someone like a you, a love so sweet and true
l'd like to leave it all behind
And go and find a place that’s known to God alone
Just a spot to call our own
We’ll find a perfect peace where joys never cease
Somewhere beneath the starry, starry sky just you and I.
We’ll build a sweet little nest somewhere out in the west
And let the rest of the world go by.
