To Be In Love

To Be In Love - Johnny Mathis

Once I thought that songs of love and spring

Were for the birds

And I swore I'd never pour my heart

Into a rhapsody of words

But every time you're near

I'm off on a lyrical spree

And extravagant phrases flow

From the heart of little old me

To be in love

To be in love

To caress the living breathing angel

I've been dreaming of

To brush your lips

To blush and burn

To feel the flush of you I thought in truth

Would never return

When I see you smile

When I hear you sigh

I seem to fly through space

And take my place with stars in the sky

To watch the silvery moon

Turn a heavenly blue

That's what it's like to be

In love with the likes of you

That's how it feels to be

Hopelessly

Hopelessly in love with you

When I see you smile

My delight of delights

You turn my everyday place

To a riotous place of red-letter nights

Each passing moment becomes

An olympian to do

That's what it's like to be

In love with the likes of you

That's how it feels to be

Fantastically

Outrageously in love with you

Lavishly

Luxuriously

Shamelessly in love with you
