Amazing Love
Count Basie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

When she wakes up this morning and turns to kiss me
She'll find I let her sleep cause we talked so late last night
She'll know I kissed her face gently till my returning
And when she finds the rose on my pillow I know she'll smile
Her amazing love unending is so much more than I am worthy of
If the rose could speak my feelings she'd know I cherished her amazing love

If I call her a little late she forgives me
Her voice does not betray she's spent another day alone
She softly thanks me for the rose and says I miss you




And then I can feel her smiling on the phone
Her amazing love
