There's a kind of a hush, all over the world, tonight,
all over the world you can hear the sound of lovers in love!
You know what I mean?
Just the two of us, with nobody else in sight,
and I'm feelin' good just holdin' you tight!

So, listen very carefully, closer now and you will see
what I mean ( see what I mean? ) it isn't a dream ( I mean, it isn't a dream! )
the only sound that you will hear is when I whisper in your ear
"I love you!" ( I love you! ) forever and ever!

There's a kind of a hush, all over the world, tonight,
all over the world you can hear the sound of lovers in love!

There's a kind of a hush ( kind of a hush! )
all over the world! ( all over the world, tonight! )
All over the world ( you can hear the sound of lovers in love! )

You know what I mean?
Just the two of us ( two of us! ) and nobody else in sight,
there's nobody else and I'm feelin' good,
just holdin' you tight ( ever so tightly! )

So, listen very carefully, closer now and you will see
what I mean ( see what I mean? ) it isn't a dream ( I mean, it isn't a dream! )
the only sound that you will hear is when I whisper in your ear
"I love you!" forever and ever!

There's a kind of a hush ( kind of a hush! )
all over the world (a hush, all over the world, tonight! )
all over the world you can hear the sound
of lovers in love! ( I love you! )
You know what I mean? ( I love you! )
It isn't a dream! ( I love you! )
You know what I mean? ( La, la la la! )
I love you!
