Bells are ringing everywhere
There is magic in the air

This is a good day
Because love has come my way
Such a happy day
Oh, now my days are brighter
My heart is feeling lighter
Heaven above us
Bless this wonderful love
Songbirds singing, everywhere
Praising love, that we share

Well I'm in love, and I know it
I feel in love and I show it
And nothing ever, will deny me
This love I have inside me
’Cause when he holds me, it's divine
In his arms there's so much peace of mind

Well I’m in love, and I know it
I feel in love and I show it
Right from heaven, his love was sent
M contentment is now permanent
As he gently holds my hand
He can thrill me like no one can
Bells are ringing everywhere
There is magic in the air

Well I'm in love, and I know it
I feel in love and I show it
And a few words can't describe my love
It's a feeling everyone dreams of
'Cause when he holds me, it's divine
In his arms there's so much peace of mind

Well I'm in love, and I know it
I feel in love and I show it, show it
I’m in love and I know it
I feel in love and I show it, yeah
I’m in love and I know it
I feel in love and I show it, eyah
I'm in love and I know it

Martha Rose Reeves (July 18, 1941 -) was born in Eufaula, AL and is a retired American R&B and pop singer, and the lead singer in the Motown group, Martha and the Vandellas. That group recorded over a dozen hit singles in the 1960s.

Reeves learned to sing in her grandfather’s church and got her big break when she and her backups were chosen to sing backup on a 1963 Marvin Gaye record. They were almost immediately signed to a record deal, renamed “Martha and the Vandellas” and set to work recording hits. The group fell apart because of drug abuse and did their final performance in Detroit in 1972. One of their songs, “Nowhere to Run” got a second life in the 1987 Robin Williams movie, Good Morning Vietnam.

The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.
