I am getting ready for my lover
He is coming home to me tomorrow night
I am getting ready for no other
He is the sunshine, the moonlight of my life
He has never had to disappoint me
It was the sweetest thing, the neatest thing in my life
So I am getting ready for my lover
He is the sunshine, the moonlight of my life
It's only fair that you'd be there with me
And hold my hand
It 's only fair that you'd be there with me
And understand
It's only fair, if you really dare
To hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me
I remember sweetness in my childhood
It was the sweetest time
The world was mine understood
I remember sweetness in my mother
She did the best she could
She always would for us
Don't you ever have to disappoint me
La de da
Repeat Chorus
