I really got the feeling that I’ll love you for a long long time
I felt it from the moment we met you didn’t ask me my sign
I love my daddy but it really don’t matter what my daddy might say
I really got the feeling that I’ll love you ’til my dying day
You’re a gentle man
And a gentle man is getting mighty hard to find these days
And you’re a tender man
And you’re man enough to show your love and tender ways

I really got the feeling that I’ll love you for a long long time
I felt it from the moment we met you didn’t ask me my sign
I love my daddy but it really don’t matter what my daddy might say
I really got the feeling that I’ll love you ’til my dying day

I love those silly things you do
You make me feel once more like an innocent child of two

I really got the feeling that I’ll love you for a long long time
I felt it from the moment we met you didn’t ask me my sign
I love my daddy but it really don’t matter what my daddy might say
I really got the feeling that I’ll love you ’til my dying day

I really got the feeling got the feeling
I really got the feeling got the feeling
I really got the feeling that I’ll love you ’til my dying day
