Lyrics[]
- I don’t know how many stars there are
- Up in the heavenly sky
- I only know my heaven it’s here on earth
- Each time you look into my eyes
- The way you do, baby
- Thank you, thank you, baby
- My beautiful bird you have flown away
- I held you too tight I can see
- You’re all I need to get by
- No one else could make me cry
- The way you do, baby
- You are the book that I read each day
- You are the song that I sing
- Gonna sing it to you
- You are the four seasons of my life
- But maybe tomorrow
- You’ll change your mind, girl
- Maybe tomorrow
- You’ll come back to my arms, girl
- You’re all I need to get by
- No one else could make me cry
- The way you do, baby
- You are the book that I read each day
- You are the song that I sing
- Gonna sing it to you
- You are the four seasons of my life
- But maybe tomorrow
- You’ll change your mind, girl
- Maybe tomorrow
- You’ll come back to my arms
- You are the book that I read each day
- You are the song that I sing
- You are the four seasons of my life
- But maybe tomorrow
- You’ll change your mind, girl
- Maybe tomorrow
- You’ll come back to my arms
- Baby I need you
- Listen to me girl
