The Honeymoon Song
The Beatles · Live At The Bbc
like today lay before us.
I've got the sun in my heart
and my heart's in the sun.
Skies are as bright
as your eyes,
the horizon is open.
Love is the ceiling,
feelings are reelings
free as the air.
Forever on and forever,
forever on side by side.
who ever knew that we two
could be free as we'd fancy,
fancy is free
but are we bound
to each other by love,
to each other by love?
Who ever knew that we two
could be free as we'd fancy,
fancy is free
but are we bound
to each other by love,
to each other by love,
to each other by love,
to each other by love?
