What Did I Do to Deserve Someone Like You?
What Did I Do to Deserve Someone Like You?
You smiled just then
And I nearly cried---
The city changed into countryside;
The quiet love
That your eyes revealed
Made each dark street an open field.
The pavement vanished
And flowers grew,
And so it's been,
And so it's been
Since the moment I met you.What did I do
To deserve someone like you?
One so endearing,
One so divine---
Is there some being above
Who directs all this love
Straight out of your heart
And straight into mine?
You are my lover,
You are my friend---
So whatever I've done
To deserve such a one,
Please don't ever let it end.Life was not uplifting,
Life was rather gray---
I found that I was drifting
From day to day.
Then you came and brought me
A love I'd never known,
A love that quickly taught me
I'm not alone.What did I do
To deserve someone like you?
One so endearing,
One so divine---
Is there some being above
Who directs all this love
Straight out of your heart
And straight into mine?
You are my lover,
You are my friend---
So whatever I've done
To deserve such a one,
Please don't ever let it end.
