The Wonder of You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When no one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on
[Chorus]
And you're always there to lend a hand
In everything I do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you
[Verse 2]
And when you smile, the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I'm a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything
[Chorus]
I'll guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me as you do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you
Play it, James
[Chorus/Outro]
I'll guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me as you do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you
When no one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on
[Chorus]
And you're always there to lend a hand
In everything I do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you
[Verse 2]
And when you smile, the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I'm a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything
[Chorus]
I'll guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me as you do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you
Play it, James
[Chorus/Outro]
I'll guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me as you do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you
