[Intro]
La-lala-la-la, la-lala-la
La-lala-la-la, la-lala-la
La-lala-la-la, la-lala-la
La-lala-la-la, la-lala-la

[Verse 1]
For you, there might a brighter star
But through my eyes the light of you, is all I see
For you, there might be another song
But all my heart can hear is your melody

[Hook]
So long ago my heart without demanding
Informed me that no other love could do
But listen did I not though understanding
Fell in love with one, who would break my heart in two

[Verse 2]
For you, love might bring a toast of wine
But which each sparkle know the best for you I pray
For you, love might be for you to find
But I will celebrate our love of yesterday

[Hook]
So long ago my heart without demanding
Informed me that no other love could do
But listen did I not though understanding
Fell in love with one, who would break my heart in two

[Verse 1]
For you, there might be another star
But through my eyes the light of you, it's all I see
For you, there might be another song
But in my heart your melody will stay with me

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
