[Intro]
Oh darling
Ooh, my darling, you're so fine
Ohhhh-ahhh-ahhh
[Verse 1]
Don't know if words could say
But darling, I'll find a way
To let you know what you meant to me
Guess it was meant to be
I hold you in my heart
As life's most precious part
[Chorus]
Oh darling (oh darling)
I dream about you often my pretty darling
(My darling, you're so fine)
I love the way you soften my life with your love
Your precious love
Uh huh, oh
[Verse 2]
I was living like half a man
Then I couldn't love, but now I can
You pick me up when I'm feeling sad
More soul than I ever had
Gonna love you every single night
Cause I think you're too outta sight
[Chorus]
Oh darling (oh darling)
I dream about you often my pretty darling
(My darling, you're so fine)
I love the way you soften my life with your love
Your precious love
Uh huh huh
[Bridge]
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Every night, oh darling
[Verse 3]
Gonna love you every single night, yes I will
Cause I think you're too doggone outta sight
[Chorus]
Oh darling (oh darling)
I dream about you often my pretty darling
(My darling, you're so fine)
I love the way you soften my life with your love
Your precious love
Uh huh, oh
Oh darling
Ooh, my darling, you're so fine
Ohhhh-ahhh-ahhh
[Verse 1]
Don't know if words could say
But darling, I'll find a way
To let you know what you meant to me
Guess it was meant to be
I hold you in my heart
As life's most precious part
[Chorus]
Oh darling (oh darling)
I dream about you often my pretty darling
(My darling, you're so fine)
I love the way you soften my life with your love
Your precious love
Uh huh, oh
[Verse 2]
I was living like half a man
Then I couldn't love, but now I can
You pick me up when I'm feeling sad
More soul than I ever had
Gonna love you every single night
Cause I think you're too outta sight
[Chorus]
Oh darling (oh darling)
I dream about you often my pretty darling
(My darling, you're so fine)
I love the way you soften my life with your love
Your precious love
Uh huh huh
[Bridge]
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Every night, oh darling
[Verse 3]
Gonna love you every single night, yes I will
Cause I think you're too doggone outta sight
[Chorus]
Oh darling (oh darling)
I dream about you often my pretty darling
(My darling, you're so fine)
