L-O-V-E
Nat King Cole · Other Songs - Nat King Cole
O is for the only one I see,
V is very very extraordinary,
E is even more than anyone that you adore and
Love is all that I can give to you,
Love is more than just a game for two,
Two in love can make it ,
Take my heart yet please don't break it,
Love was made for me and you.
L is for the way you look at me,
O is for the only one I see,
V is very very extraordinary,
E is even more than anyone that you adore and
Love is all that I can give to you,
Love is more than just a game for two,
Two in love can make it,
Take my heart yet please don't break it,
Love was made for me and you.
Love was made for me and you.
Love was made for me and you.
