Lyrics
- It all seems too good to be true
That you love me and I love you
And yet I wonder will your love die
You know it won’t
I hope it won’t and this is why
Chorus
I’ve waited all my life, dear
For somebody just like you
I always knew my wife
Would look exactly as you do
You need not fear I’ll stray
Like most husbands do
I’ve waited much too long, dear
To find somebody just like you
- While waiting you have loved a few
Yes that’s what made me wait for you
When wrinkles come, and hair grows gray
That’s far a way
There’ll come a day and still I’ll say
