Sorry didn't notice you there
But then again you didn't notice me
So well remain passers by
Until the next time we speak

I hope that I can make you mine
For another man steals your heart
And once your beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart

Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name

I'm hoping I can make you mine
For another man steals your heart
And once your beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart

It didn't take much time to think about
But I didn't want to move too fast
'Cause I knew that when I saw you again
That I wouldn't want to let you pass

'Cause my eyes have seen the glory
In the coming of your smile
So I swear if you ever come round again
Please stay for a while

Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name

I'm hoping I can make you mine
For another man steals your heart
And once this beauty is mine
I swear that well never be apart

You are so beautiful
When I'm down and out
I never seem to get tired
Tired of your love

'Cause you are wonderful
You're wonderful
I'm just dying to make you see
Anything you want inside your heart

You can find right here inside of me
Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart

And beauty is her name
I'm hoping I can make you mine
For another man steals your heart
And once this beauty is mine

I swear we will never be apart
Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart

And beauty is her name
I'm hoping I can make you mine
For another man steals your heart
And once this beauty is mine

I swear we will never be apart
Walks by me every day
Her and love are the same
The woman that's stolen my heart
And beauty is her name
