You Were Meant For Me To Be For You
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
You were meant for me to be for you.
Absolutely.
This I know it.
Absolutely.
And you do.
Absolutely.
You were meant for me as the sky is blue.
Absolutely.
This is true.
Absolutely...
And in my heart I feel it too!
Absolutely.
Yes I do.
Absolutely.
In my mind you're here to stay.
Absolutely.
Like the Sun that brightens my days.
Absolutely.
You're not going from me away.
To fade...
That way.
No!
Up every morning quick I get.
Wanting to...
Kiss your lips.
Oh yeah.
Absolutely.
Absolutely
And not everywhere but here with me.
Ooo...
Absolutely.
You kiss good too.
Absolutely.
This I know for me is true.
Yes.
Yes, I do.
Up every morning quick I get.
Wanting to...
Kiss your lips.
Even before the rising Sun,
Nothing I want more did done.
Ooo...
Absolutely.
You were meant for me to be for you.
Absolutely.
This I know.
It to be true
Absolutely.
And we both know this to be true.
Absolutely.
This I know.
Absolutely.
And you do too!
Absolutely.
And you do too!
Goodnight.
But...
I bet you won't sleep that tight!
Goodnight.
But...
I bet you won't sleep that tight!
I bet you won't sleep that tight!
Goodnight.
It feels so right to be with you.
Goodnight.
But...
I bet you won't sleep that tight!
Not with our eyes opened that bright.
Not with our eyes opened that bright.
Not with our eyes opened that bright.
Two hours before the Sun rise!
