[Verse 1]
You may not know how to make words rhyme
Carry a tune or clap on time
No talent for rhythm and musical things
[Chorus]
But you're the composer of the song
That my heart sings, ooh
[Verse 2]
You may not know what quarter notes are
Or what I mean if I say Four to the Bar
Such musical terms may be Greek to your ears
[Chorus]
But you're the composer of the song
That my heart hears, ooh
[Bridge]
Now it's a tender song
It's like a rhapsody, a symphony
This song I find in this heart of mine
And it's begging you
"Let nothing keep us apart"
Oh, my darling
'Cause you've put a song in my heart, ooh-ooh, ooh
You may not know how to make words rhyme
Carry a tune or clap on time
No talent for rhythm and musical things
[Chorus]
But you're the composer of the song
That my heart sings, ooh
[Verse 2]
You may not know what quarter notes are
Or what I mean if I say Four to the Bar
Such musical terms may be Greek to your ears
[Chorus]
But you're the composer of the song
That my heart hears, ooh
[Bridge]
Now it's a tender song
It's like a rhapsody, a symphony
This song I find in this heart of mine
And it's begging you
"Let nothing keep us apart"
Oh, my darling
'Cause you've put a song in my heart, ooh-ooh, ooh
