Lyrics

All my life I’ve watched and waited
For my true love to come along
I guess my meeting you was fated
You took the blue note out of my song

Chorus

Until today, I never knew until today
How really beautiful this blue world could be
Until you smiled at me
Until today, I never thrilled until today
My heart had never known this feeling divine
Until your lips met mine, your lips met mine
The robin never sang as sweetly
The flowers never bloomed so fair
You seemed to change my life completely
The moment you whispered you care
Until today, I never lived until today
I never dreamed that love could play
Such a part until today, sweetheart
