Verse:

Life was a song. You came along,

l've laid awake the whole night through.

If I but dared, To think you cared,

This is what I'd say to you.

 

Chorus:

You Were Meant For Me,
I was meant for you.
Nature patterned you and when she was done,

You were all the sweet things rolled up in one.

You're like a plaintive melody,

That never lets me free,

For I'm content the angels must have sent you,

And they meant you just for me.
