You Are Love [From Show Boat]

Once a wand'ring ne'er do well
Just a vagrant roving fellow
I went my way

Life was just a joke to tell
Like a lonely Punchinello
My role was gay

But I knew the joke was aimless
Time went on, I liked the game less
For you see

Somewhere lurked a spark divine and
I kept wond'ring whether mine
Would come to me

Then my fortune turned and I found you
Here you are with my arms around you
You will never know what you've meant to me
You're the prize that heaven has sent to me
Here's a bright and beautiful world all new
Wrapped up in you

You are love, here in my arms
Where you belong
And here you will stay
I'll not let you away
I want day after day with you

You are spring
Bud of romance unfurled
You taught me to see
One truth, forever true

You are love
Wonder of all the world
Where you go with me
Heaven will always be
