...possible marriage ...I am seriously considering
Shining Star (thanks Beth and Rico) but I only know a
few of the lines.
Can somebody out in netland send me the lyrics or
even some of the lyrics. I have to decide if this is
indeed the "perfect" song for me and my new husband...

it's an attempt to mimic the sheet music, for all you
musician/crooner types.]
