This is My Song Lyrics

Why is my heart so light?
Why are the stars so bright?
Why is the sky so blue
Since the hour I met you?

Flowers are smiling bright
Smiling for our delight
Smiling so tenderly
For the world, you and me

I know why the world is smiling
Smiling so tenderly
It is the same old story
True all eternity

Love, this is my song
Here is a song
A serenade to you
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world there’s you

I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So Love this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade, to you
