Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Said I, many times, love is illusion
A feeling result of confusion
With knowing smile and blaze sigh
A cynical so and so as I
[Verse 2]
I feel so sure, so positive
So utterly, unchangingly certain
That I never was aware of loving you
Til suddenly I realized, there was love in you and I
[Verse 3]
In this world of ordinary people
Extraordinary people
I'm glad there is you
[Verse 4]
In this world of over-rated pleasures
Of under-rated treasures
I'm glad there is you
[Verse 5]
I live to love
I love to live with you beside me, beside me, beside me
This role so new
I'll muddle through with you to guide me
[Verse 6]
In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
More than ever, I'm glad there is you
[Verse 7]
I live to love
I love to live with you beside me
This role so new
I'll muddle through with you to guide me
[Verse 8]
In this world where many, many play at love, play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
More than ever, I'm glad, there's you
