I used to play it by ear
That wonderful thing called love
I never believed I'd fall in love, not me

I used to think that those who kissed and ran away
Would live to kiss again
Another day

I used to laugh at romance but now that I know the score
But now that the one I've waited for is here

I know that this is the song the angels sing
This is the "once-in-a-lifetime" thing
This is the real McCoy and it's crystal clear
What's deep in your heart
Can't be played by ear
