Lyrics
Words of praise in a well-turned phrase
Never seem to spring from my heart
I’m never one who reaches
For sentimental speeches
I’m not versed and I’m not rehearsed
In the kind of words that are smart
Still I can speak sincerely
And tell you just as clearly
Chorus
You’re a sweetheart
If there ever was one
If there ever was one, it’s you
Life without you
Was an incomplete dream
You are every sweet dream come true
My search was such a blind one
And I was all at sea
I never thought I’d find one
Quite so perfect for me
You’re a sweetheart
If there ever was one
If there ever was one, it’s you
