Number One Magazine Review

You are my favourite lady and you are my favourite man

yes
you are
So it feels good to know that you feel the same.
And forever and a day together we will be

Nothing on this earth could ever take you away from me.

'Cause I've been kissed but I - never knew love like this -

And I've been missed but I - never knew love like this -.
Love someone before but I - never knew love like this -

I've had lots of lavin' but I never knew love like this.
You're something special -
and you know you're something special
too

I love you and that's all I need to hear to make my day.
'Cause you're always on my mind
no matter what I do

Nothing on this earth could ever keep me away from you.
I've been kissed but I - never knew love like this -
. . .
I've been kissed but I - never knew love like this -
. . .

When I'm asleep at night
in my dream I hold you tight

I never had a better love
never love like this.

I've been kissed but I - never knew love like this -
