The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
Life was a song
You came along
I’ve laid awake the whole night through
If I but dared
To think you cared
This is what I’d say to you
Chorus:
You were meant for me
I was meant for you
Nature patterned you and when she was done
You were all the sweet things rolled up in one
You’re like a plaintive melody
That never lets me free
For I’m content
The angels must have sent you
And they meant you just for me
Sung here by Fred Feild:
