Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Every day the sun comes up around herShe can make the birds sing harmonyEvery drop of rain is glad it found herHeaven must have made her just for meWhen she smiles so warm and tenderA sight for sore eyes to seeOoh (ain’t no woman like the one I’ve got)Oh, no, they don’t come better(To make her happy doesn’t take a lot)She don’t ask for things, no diamond rings(So together, like a hand in glove)Like pages in a letter(Ain’t no woman like the one I love)
