Lyrics
Just how to say I feel that way
They’re using “I love you”
More and more and more
I trust this way hasn’t been used before
CHORUS
The charm of you is comparable
To a Christmas tree with toys
With little girls and boys
When first they see the tree
The thrill of you is comparable
To the thrill I felt when I
First learned a heart could sigh
And you were the reason why
And yet, and yet, if we two had never met
I’d know your grace, that warmth of face
That only the angels get
And so comparing you with all of these thigs
Is all that I can do
Because they add up to the charm of you
