Very Special Love
Maureen McGovern · Greatest Hits [1990]
I was deceived by love, I never had much
luck with lovers before
I could'nt complete, I seem just part of the
street to be walked on by everyone but then
I found a very special love in you,
Its a feeling that's so totally new
Over and over its burning inside
I found a very special love in you, and it almost breaks me in two
Squeezin' me tighter and I never gonna let go
You're not like the rest, I know your one of the best
you give more than you should and take nothing
in return (in return)
Stay always with me, and I'll always will be
the one person that you can count on always to love
And I found a very special love in you,
Its a feeling that's so totally new over and over
its burnin inside, I found a very special love in you
and it almost breaks me in two squeezin me tighter,
And I never gonna let go..
