verse 1
Love is a many splendored thing
It′s the April rose that only grows in the early Spring
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
It′s the April rose that only grows in the early Spring
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
verse 2
Once on a high and windy hill, In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart
And taught it how to sing
Yes, true love′s a many splendored thing
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart
And taught it how to sing
Yes, true love′s a many splendored thing
verse 3
Once on a high and windy hill,
In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart
And taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing
In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed and the world stood still
Then your fingers touched my silent heart
And taught it how to sing
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing
