Lyrics for A Woman Like You

I don't believe I've seen A woman like you anywhere. And I must admit that I can't see To making you into a dream. But if I had a magical wonder word, I'd send a dove to catch your love And I send a blackbird to steal your heart. But a broken heart won't go, My endless search, little girl, I gonna fix a magic(al) spell To weave on you, little girl. I'll fall along that you catch the wind Upon the orange to sweetest sin Before this very moment evil in. I'd rather wait at the dark Of thousand times, little girl, And take the woman until The heart of my soul. And if I catch you sleeping along the west And gave you alone my secret way. But I bind your heart unto me very slow. I don't believe I've seen A woman like you anywhere. And I must admit that I can't see To making you into a dream. And if I had a magical wonder word, I send a dove to catch your love And I send a blackbird to steal your heart.
