You'd Be Hard To Replace

Verse:

(Josh:) Frequently we bicker,
But you know that there's no one but you.
(Dinah:) Don't we make up quicker,
Even when love looks black and blue?
(Josh:) Oh, happiness seems hopeless when peace flies up the flue,
(Dinah:) Let the plot grow thicker,
Always there'll be a happy ending in view;

Chorus 1:

(Josh:) All that I know is you'd be hard to replace,
Where else in all this world such loveliness and such grace?
With charm so all-embracing
And laughter in those eyes,
It's easier replacing
The moon and starry skies.
Deep down, deep down inside, my secret heart knows,
The more that I'm with you, the more and more my rapture grows;
Without you at my side, I fear no future could I face,
For you'd be oh, so hard to replace.

Chorus 2:

(Dinah:) All that I know is you'd be hard to replace,
Who else in all this world would thrill me with his embrace?
No happiness denied me,
No cloud is in my sky;
With you to hold and guide me,
No others need apply.
Deep down, deep down inside, each night there's a plea,
The two of us remain as one for all the days to be,
Without you all those days would be just empty time and space,
For you'd be oh, so hard to replace.
