Ruth Etting – Cuban Love Song lyrics

Verse

I USED TO HAVE A PER-FECT SWEET-HEART,
NOT A REAL ONE, JUST A DREAM
A WON-DER-FUL VIS-ION OF US AS A TEAM
CAN YOU IM-AG-INE HOW I FEEL NOW, LOVE IS REAL NOW, IT'S I-DEAL
YOU'RE JUST WHAT I WANT-ED AND NOW IT'S NICE TO LIVE,
PAR-A-DISE TO LIVE:

Chorus

I KNOW WHY I'VE WAIT-ED, KNOW WHY I'VE BEEN BLUE,
PRAYED EACH NIGHT FOR SOME-ONE EX-ACT-LY LIKE YOU
WHY SHOULD WE SPEND MON-EY ON A SHOW OR TWO
NO ONE DOES THOSE LOVE SCENES EX-ACT-LY LIKE YOU
YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO GRAND I WANT TO HAND THE WORLD TO YOU
YOU SEEM TO UN-DER-STAND EACH FOOL-ISH LIT-TLE SCHEME I'M
SCHEM-ING DREAM I'M DREAM-ING, NOW I KNOW WHY MOTH-ER
TAUGHT ME TO BE TRUE SHE MEANT ME FOR SOME-ONE EX-ACT-LY LIKE YOU
