Lyrics

You’re just too good to be trueCan’t take my eyes off of youYou’d be like Heaven to touchI wanna hold you so muchAt long last, love has arrivedAnd I thank God I’m aliveYou’re just too good to be trueCan’t take my eyes off of you
Pardon the way that I stareThere’s nothin’ else to compareThe sight of you leaves me weakThere are no words left to speakBut if you feel like I feelPlease let me know that it’s realYou’re just too good to be trueCan’t take my eyes off of you
I love you, babyAnd if it’s quite alrightI need you, babyTo warm the lonely nightI love you, babyTrust in me when I sayOh, pretty babyDon’t bring me down, I prayOh, pretty babyNow that I’ve found you, stayAnd let me love you, babyLet me love you
You’re just too good to be trueCan’t take my eyes off of youYou’d be like Heaven to touchI wanna hold you so muchAt long last, love has arrivedAnd I thank God I’m aliveYou’re just too good to be trueCan’t take my eyes off you
I love you, babyAnd if it’s quite alrightI need you, babyTo warm the lonely nightI love you, babyTrust in me when I sayOh, pretty babyDon’t bring me down, I prayOh, pretty babyNow that I’ve found you, stayOh, pretty babyTrust in me when I sayOh, pretty baby
