You Were Meant For Me

Vaughn Monroe · Other Songs - Vaughn Monroe

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



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
