You’re a Wonderful One Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You are so wonderful
A-being near you is all that I'm living for
You've show me more kindness in little ways
Than I've ever known in all my days
Tell me we'll stay together
Let me love you forever

[Chorus]
'Cause you're a wonderful one
You're a wonderful one
In you there is a rare quality (Wonderful one, wonderful one)
Your love, baby, it means the world to me (Wonderful one, wonderful one)
For me you're always concerned
And you ask nothing, baby, in return (Wonderful one, wonderful one)

[Refrain]
You're really more than I deserve
From my heart, I mean these words
You're a wonderful one
You're a wonderful one

[Chorus]
Oh, you're a wonderful one
Baby, you're a wonderful one
Sweetheart, you're a wonderful one
My darling, you're a wonderful one
Oh, you're a wonderful one
Ooh, you're a wonderful one
Mhm, you're a wonderful one
Baby, you're a wonderful one
[Refrain]
You're really more than I deserve
From my heart I mean these words
You're a wonderful one
You're a wonderful one

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I'm up, oh, sometimes I'm down
But your love, you're always around
Words of confidence you speak to me
Baby, and you place a tender kiss on my cheek (Wonderful one, wonderful one)
It makes my burden a little bit lighter
It makes my life a little bit brighter

[Refrain]
'Cause you're a wonderful one
'Cause you're a wonderful one

[Chorus]
Oh, you're a wonderful one
Baby, you're a wonderful one
Wonderful, baby (Wonderful one)
Ooh, you're a wonderful one
Ooh (Wonderful one)
Ooh, baby, you're a wonderful one
