I was high and mighty,

How I laughed a love and the stars above.

Then you came like a gen - tle flame

And helped me find  my  way.

I was high and mighty, 

And I told my heart where to stop and start.

Now I find that I  was blind --

Iım learning it day by day.

Love   can change things,

Re-    arrange things --

Oh,    what strange things love can do.

Iım not high and mighty,

But I have whatıs worth all the gold on earth.

I have you, and I give my heart

Forever and ever to you.
