Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sweetheart, I know that I adore you;
Love you more and more each day.
And when it’s plain I live just for you,
Do you wonder that I say.

[Verse 2]
You’ve brought the sunshine and the flowers
To a life that once seemed drear
You’ve brought so many precious hours,
It’s not strange I love you, dear.

[Chorus]
Idolizing you is all that seems worthwhile
And by your side
I’ll linger too because of your dear smile.
I love the eyes that mean my happiness,
I prize the lips I fondly press,
Why idolizing you is all that seems worthwhile.
