Showboat soundtrack – You Are Love lyrics

Once a wandering ne’er-do-well
Just a vagrant roaming fellow
I went my way
Life was just a joke to tell
Like a lonely Punchinello
My role was gay
But I knew the joke was aimless
Time went on, I liked the game less
For you see
Somewhere lurked a spark divine
And I kept wondering whether mine
Would come to me.

Then my fortune turned and I found you
Here you are with my arms around you
You will never know what you meant to me
You’re the prize that heaven has sent to me
Here’s a bright and beautiful world anew
Wrapped up in you.

REFRAIN:
You are love
Here in my arms
Where you belong,
And here you will stay.
I’ll not let you away
I want day after day with you.

You are spring,
Bud of romance unfurl’d
You taught me to see
One truth forever true.

You are love,
Wonder of all the world.
Where you go with me
Heaven will always be!
