I hold her hand much tighter now stars are shining brighter now
And throughout the day I find she's always on my mind
What a wonderful wonderful feeling when liking turns to loving
A kiss from her means so much more now I know what kissing's for
The tender smiles I used to know now I cherish so
What a wonderful wonderful feeling when liking turns to loving
To me she was always just a little girl and now she's my whole world
Music fills the starlit night when I kiss and hold her tight
And one day just the way we planned she'll wear my wedding band
What a wonderful wonderful feeling when liking turns to loving
[ steel ]
What a wonderful wonderful feeling when liking turns to loving
(What a wonderful wonderful feeling)
