Album:
Ein Abend mit
Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea 
And we breathe in the cool salty air,
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes 
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare 
Then your lips cling to mine, it's wonderful, wonderful 
Oh, so wonderful my love. 


Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill 
And we gaze at the earth and the sky 
I turn to you and you melt in my arms 
There we are, darling, only you and I 
What a moment to share, it's wonderful, wonderful 
Oh, so wonderful my love 


Bridge:
This world is full of wondrous things it's true 
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you 


Some quiet evenings I sit by your side 
And we're lost in a world of our own 
I feel the glow of your unspoken love 
I'm aware of the treasures that I own 
And I say to myself, it's wonderful, wonderful 
Oh, so wonderful my love!
