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

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 ev'ry 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
(repeat chorus)
