L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary

Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

Can we appreciate the fact that Nat sang this while dying from terminal lung cancer. If that doesn’t prove that singers back then had 10x the talent then idk what does.
