Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me, with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your lips cling to mine, it's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
Sometimes we stand, on the top of a hill
I turn to you, and you melt in my arms
There we are, Darling, only you and I
What a moment to share, it's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love
The world is full of wondrous things, it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you
Some quiet evening, I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that I hold
And I say to myself "It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love"
And I say to myself "It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love"

Sometimes we walk, hand in hand by the sea
Occasionally we stroll, side by side along the shore, holding hands
And we breathe in the cool salty air
As we walk, we inhale the refreshing salty breeze
You turn to me, with a kiss in your eyes
You look at me with tenderness, and the anticipation of a sweet kiss is in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
And my heart is overwhelmingly filled with joy
Then your lips cling to mine, it's wonderful, wonderful
When your lips touch mine, it's magical, absolutely magical
Oh, so wonderful, my love
Oh, my love, it's truly exquisite
Sometimes we stand, on the top of a hill
From time to time, we find ourselves on a hilltop together
And we gaze at the earth and the sky
We admire the beauty of both the land and the sky
I turn to you, and you melt in my arms
I look at you and you are so enraptured in the moment that you melt into my embrace
There we are, Darling, only you and I
We are two souls completely caught up in each other's presence
What a moment to share, it's wonderful, wonderful
What a precious experience to have together, it's purely amazing
Oh, so wonderful, my love
Oh, my love, it's a moment of true bliss
The world is full of wondrous things, it's true
There are so many incredible things in this world, it's an undeniable fact
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you
However, they wouldn't mean so much to me without you, my dear
Some quiet evening, I sit by your side
On a peaceful evening, I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
We are so wrapped up in each other that we are completely oblivious to the world around us
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I feel the warmth radiating from your unspoken love for me
I'm aware of the treasure that I hold
I realize the incredible value of what I have in you
And I say to myself "It's wonderful, wonderful
And to myself, I exclaim how magical and special it truly is
Oh, so wonderful, my love"
Oh, my love, it's pure wonder and delight
