Goddess Of Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This beautiful night (beautiful night)
I never thought I'd see (never thought I'd see)
But here you are in my arms (arms of mine)
Kissing me tenderly (kissing me tenderly)

[Verse 2]
Now my heart is happy
I think I wanna bride
Because you're mine (because of love)
And it's me you're thinkin' of

[Chorus]
The Goddess of love (Goddess of love)
Has made everything go right
The moon is shinin' so bright
And the stars twinkle with delight
Oh Goddess of love
Keep back the day light
And let this night (the Goddess of love)
Last forever (last forever)
Last forever (last forever)

[Verse 3]
For a long time I watched you go by
But I, I could do nothin' but sigh
But now my life has took a wonderful change
Because tonight you asked me to wear your ring
[Chorus]
The Goddess of love (Goddess of love)
Has made everything go right
The moon is shinin' so bright
And the stars twinkle with delight
Oh Goddess of love
Keep back the day light
And let this night (the Goddess of love)
Last forever (last forever)
Last forever (last forever)
Last forever (last forever)
Last forever (last forever)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
