Lyrics
“I’ve Never Seen The Likes Of You”
You walk in and I can hear the whispers
As a hush fills the crowded room
You stand there looking just like heaven
Lord, I’ve never seen the likes of you.From the doorway your eyes search every table
As every man turns to look at you
You’re special and anyone can see it
You know I’ve never seen the likes of you.And then I catch your eye from across the room
And you smile back at me, as I walk up to you.And say, “Hello there.”, and put my arms around you
As I remember the day I married you
And now three kids later, You’re more beautiful than ever
You know I’ve never seen the likes of you…
