Lyrics
- It took six days to make the world
And on a day called seven
A thing called love, came from above
And someone named it Heaven
Long centuries have passed since then
The number none can tell
But love has kept on loving
Some love wisely, some too well
The great loves of all time
Could never equal mine
Chorus:
Adam never loved his Eve as I love you
Cleopatra’s love for Caesar
Proved that she was just a teaser
Romeo loved Juliet
If Shakespeare’s words are true
But it took nineteen hundred and nineteen years
To make a girl like you
- You look just as I dreamed you would
With eyes so soft and tender
As day passed day, I’d always say
“Please, Cupid, won’t you send her”
And you are here and I am near
Let ring love’s glorious chimes
This world holds many prizes
And the greatest prize is mine
My dear girl that means you
Let’s hear you say, “Me, too”
