So rare, you're like the fra-grance 
-4  6    -4   -3
of blos-soms fair
  3   4  3   4    3  -2
Sweet as a breath of air 
  2    3    2   3    2   3
fresh with the morn-ing dew
6     6    3   4
Oh, you’re so rare, 
  3     -3  -3* -4    6
you're like the spar-kle 
-4  6   -4   -3
of old cham-pagne
3    4   3   4  3   -2
Or-chids in cel-lo-phane 
  2    3   2   3   2   1   1   1
Could-n't com-pare to you, to you
 3   3   3   3   3      3    3  3 3  3
You are per-fec-tion, you're my i-de-a
3  3   3    3   3    3   3 3  3  3  3
Of an-gels sing-in' the "A-ve Ma-ri-a"
 2    2    2  2   2
For you're an an-gel, 
2    2     2   2    2
I breathe and live you
 2   2   2   2   2   2    2
With ev-‘ry beat of the heart 
 2   2  -3  -3
that I give you
3   4     3   -3-3* -4  6
So rare, this is a heav-en 
-4   6   -4  -3
on earth we share
 3   4   3   4  3   -2
Car-ing the way we care, 
 2   3  2  3   -3  4
ours is a love so rare
 2   3  2  3   -3  1
ours is a love so rare
