Matt Monro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sweetest sound I'll ever hear
Is still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know
Are waiting to be said

The most entrancing sight of all
Is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me

The sweetest sound I'll ever hear
Is still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know
Are waiting to be said

The most entrancing sight of all
Is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me




Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me
