Voice
TELL ME THAT IT'S TRUE,
TELL ME YOU AGREE,
I WAS MEANT FOR YOU,
YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME,
Refrain
DEARLY BELOVED,
HOW CLEARLY I SEE,
SOMEWHERE IN HEAVEN
YOU WERE FASHIONED FOR ME,
ANGEL EYES
KNEW YOU,
ANGEL VOICES
LED ME TO YOU,
NOTHING COULD SAVE ME,
FATE GAVE ME A SIGN,
I KNOW THAT I'LL BE YOURS
COME SHOWER OR SHINE,
SO I SAY
MERELY,
DEARLY BELOVED,
BE MINE.
(Repeat Refrain)
