I can see the sun, though we're out in the rain, when I'm with you.

You have the certain magic, you are the seven wonders of the world.
Snow is on the ground but the leaves are on the trees when I'm with you,
Flowers sing a love song, there's music in the breeze when I'm with you.
Hmm, mm mm mm. Please let me make this confession,
You are my magnificent obsession.
