   ...possible marriage ...I am seriously considering
   Shining Star (thanks Beth and Rico) but I only know a
   few of the lines.
      Can somebody out in netland send me the lyrics or
   even some of the lyrics.  I have to decide if this is
   indeed the "perfect" song for me and my new husband...

it's an attempt to mimic the sheet music, for all you
musician/crooner types.]
