Scrapbook Songs, Glad There is You

I'm Glad There Is You
Carmen Mcrae

Said I, many times, love is illusion,
A feeling result of confusion.
With knowing smile, and blazing sigh,
A cynical so-and-so wasI.

I felt so sure, so positive,
So utterly, unchangingly certain.
But I never was aware of love and you,

And suddenly I realized
There was love and you,
And I, and I.

In this world,
Of ordinary people,
Extraordinary people,
I'm glad there is you.

In this world of overrated treasures,
And underrated pleasures,
I'm glad there is you.

I live to love,
I love to live with you,
Right here beside me.
This road so new,
I'll muddle through,
With you to guide me.

In this world,
Where many, many play at love,
And hardly any stay at love,
I'm glad there is you,
More than ever, I'm glad,
So glad, there's you.
