God looked on this tired earth
And planned a major change
And after many tries he smiled
To see you standing there
*Say l think I'll keep him like he is
I think I'll keep him like he is
Guess he knew the world needed someone wonderful
So he kept you like you are
(I) Think I'll keep him like he is
(I) Think I'll keep him like he is
Guess he knew the world needed someone wonderful
So he kept you like you are
La la la...
You made the sun give up it's light
To elevate your smile
So the world could see himself
Every time that you smiled
(Repeat*)
La la la...
Put a dash of stars
Behind there to part his eyes
Made you as you are
Perfect to his own eyes
La la la...
And planned a major change
And after many tries he smiled
To see you standing there
*Say l think I'll keep him like he is
I think I'll keep him like he is
Guess he knew the world needed someone wonderful
So he kept you like you are
(I) Think I'll keep him like he is
(I) Think I'll keep him like he is
Guess he knew the world needed someone wonderful
So he kept you like you are
La la la...
You made the sun give up it's light
To elevate your smile
So the world could see himself
Every time that you smiled
(Repeat*)
La la la...
Put a dash of stars
Behind there to part his eyes
Made you as you are
Perfect to his own eyes
La la la...
