So Rare

Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby

What is so rare as a day in June?

'Till now we have never been told

The old question's answered by one that is new

What is so rare, dear, as you?

So rare, you're like the fragrance of blossoms fair

Sweet as a breath of air

Fresh with the morning dew

So rare You're like the sparkle of old champagne

Orchids in cellophane

Couldn't compare to you

You are perfection you're my idea

Of angels singing the Ave Maria

For you're an angel, I breathe and live you

With every beat of the heart that I give you

So rare, This is a heaven on earth we share

Caring the way we care

Ours is a love so rare

So rare, You have the warmth of a Schubert air

Charming and debonaire

Those are the words for you

So rare You have a way that's beyond compare

That "one in a million" air

In everything you do

You have that something, that certain manner

You thrill me more than the "Star Spangled Banner"

You stage a love scene, so sweetly tender

And in that love scene I gladly surrender

So rare, to have a future like yours to share

Sweetheart the way we care
