Your Perfect Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ever certain, ever strong
Your song, the perfect song
Like a bright star shining on
Your perfect song

[Verse 2]
Never waivers, never wrong
Your song, the perfect song
In my heart, where it belongs
Your perfect song

[Bridge]
Your eyes in candlelight
Sparkle so true
My words could never shine as bright
But they'll have to do

[Verse 3]
Ever certain, ever strong
Your song, the perfect song
In my heart where it belongs
Your perfect song
Your perfect song

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
