Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Ev’ry day is a brand-new day when you are mine.
But the moment that you go away, no sun will shine.
Your love is my reward,
Each night I thank the Lord;
Tell me till time is done
We’ll be one.
Refrain
If there is someone lovelier than you,
Then I am blind,
A man without a mind.
If there is someone lovelier than you.
But no, I am not blind,
My eyes have travell’d ev’rywhere
In hope that I might find
A creature half so fair;
If there is someone lovelier than you,
By all that’s beautiful, such beauty can’t be true.
