    If there’s a place in your heart for me
    There’s a room in my place for you
    ‘Cause I’ve got love enough…
    Yes, I’ve got love enough…
    Love enough for two
    It isn’t every road that leads me home
    It isn’t every day I’m on my own
    But when I’m feeling sad and all alone
    I think of you, yes, I do
    You’ve got a very special kind of style
    There’s something in your eyes each time you smile
    So tell me you can stay for just a while
    And love me too
    If there’s a place in your heart for me
    There’s a room in my place for you
    ‘Cause I’ve got love enough…
    Yes, I’ve got love enough for two
    If there’s a time in your life for me
    I’ve got a lifetime to spend with you
    ‘Cause I’ve got love enough…
    Yes, I’ve got love enough…
    Love enough for two
    It isn’t every day you meet someone
    You wanna pin your wildest dreams upon
    It’s true you haven’t known me very long
    But I hope and pray that you’ll stay
    There’s something in the way you touch my soul
    It seemed that I was half, but now I’m whole
    You’ve got me under your complete control
    In every way
    If there’s a place in your heart for me
    There’s a room in my place for you
    ‘Cause I’ve got love enough…
    Yes, I’ve got love enough for two
    If there’s a…
    If there’s a time in your life for me
