LYRICS
I didn't know what day it wasWhen you walked into the roomI said hello unnoticedYou said goodbye too soon
Breezing through the clienteleSpinning yarns that were so lyricalI really must confess right hereThe attraction was purely physical, oh
I took all those habits of yoursThat in the beginning were hard to acceptYour fashion sense, Beardsly printsI put down to experience
The big bosomed lady with the Dutch accentWho tried to change my point of viewHer ad lib lines were well rehearsedBut my heart cried out for you
You're in my heart, you're in my soulYou'll be my breath should I grow oldYou are my lover, you're my best friendYou're in my soul
My love for you is immeasurableMy respect for you immenseYou're ageless, timeless, lace and finenessYou're beauty and elegance
You're a rhapsody, a comedyYou're a symphony and a playYou're every love song ever writtenBut honey, what do you see in me?
You're in my heart, you're in my soulYou'll be my breath should I grow oldYou are my lover, you're my best friendYou're in my soul
You're an essay in glamorPlease pardon the grammarBut you're every schoolboy's dreamYou're Celtic, United, but baby, I've decidedYou're the best team I've ever seen
And there have been many affairsMany times I've thought to leaveBut I bite my lip and turn around'Cause you're the warmest thing I've ever found
You're in my heart, you're in my soulYou'll be my breath should I grow oldYou are my lover, you're my best friendYou're in my soul
You're in my heart, you're in my soulYou'll be my breath should I grow oldYou are my lover, you're my best friendYou're in my soul
You're in my heart, you're in my soulYou'll be my breath should I grow oldYou are my lover, you're my best friendYou're in my soul
