Song Lyrics

I'm walking on the air, dear,
For life is fair, dear, to lovers;
I'm in the seventh heaven
(There's more than seven, my heart discovers),
In this sweet, improbable and unreal world,
Finding you has given me my ideal world.

[Chorus]
Why do I love you? Why do you love me?
Why should there be two happy as we?
Can you see the why or wherefor,
I should be the one you care for?

You're a lucky boy, I am lucky too,
All our dreams of joy seem to come true.
Maybe that's because you love me,
Maybe that's why I love you!

[Chorus]

Jerome Kern, Oscar Ii Hammerstein
