Lyrics you'll love: 'Demonstrating sweet love and affection/That you give so openly, yeah/The way I feel about you, baby, can't explain it/Want the whole wide world to see' It holds the distinction of being the top love song (and best-selling track) from their 1973 album Red Rose The muse for this orchestra-backed love song is Linda, Paul McCartney's first wife. Lyrics you'll love: 'Oh, oh, I love, oh, oh, my love/Only my love holds the other key to me/Oh, oh, my love, oh, oh, my love/Only my love does it good to me'
Thanks to Burt Bacharach's lyrics and Karen's angelic voice, it nabbed the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Performance by a Duo, Group or Chorus. Lyrics you'll love: 'On the day that you were born the angels got together/And decided to create a dream come true/So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold/And starlight in your eyes of blue'Ī remake from the 1970 album Close to You.
