So Rare

What is so rare as a day in June? 'Till now we have never been told The old question's answered by one that is new What is so rare, dear, as you? So rare, you're like the fragrance of blossoms fair Sweet as a breath of air Fresh with the morning dew So rare You're like the sparkle of old champagne Orchids in cellophane Couldn't compare to you You are perfection you're my idea Of angels singing the Ave Maria For you're an angel, I breathe and live you With every beat of the heart that I give you So rare, This is a heaven on earth we share Caring the way we care Ours is a love so rare So rare, You have the warmth of a Schubert air Charming and debonaire Those are the words for you So rare You have a way that's beyond compare That "one in a million" air In everything you do You have that something, that certain manner You thrill me more than the "Star Spangled Banner" You stage a love scene, so sweetly tender And in that love scene I gladly surrender So rare, to have a future like yours to share Sweetheart the way we care --- So Rare - George Shearing and Marian McPartland
