To Know You (is To Love You) (1959 Version) Lyrics - Perry Como

To know you, is to love you, 

And I love you 'cause I know you 

Are such a sweetheart 

That when you walk down the street, 

Everyone's heart, just naturally skips a beat! 

The others, who have met you, 

Better start in to forget you 

Because, to know you is to love you so, 

It's time for everyone you know, 

To know you love me! 

Were you the sun, it would be twice as sunny, 

Were you a bee, there would be sweeter honey, 

Were you a tune everyone would be croonin' 

Harmonizin' out in the street! 

You're such a bundle of me oh my, 

And that's the reason when you go by, 

Each heart naturally skips a beat! 

Dear 

The others 

(Were you the spring, you would be twice as springy!) 

Who have met you 

(Were you a vine, you would be twice as clingy!) 

Better start in 

(Were you the moon, everyone would be spoonin'!) 

To forget you 

(Every night would be mighty sweet!) 

Because, to know you is to love you so, 

It's time for everyone you know, 

To know you love me! 

Because, to know you is to love you so, 

It's time for everyone you know, 

To know you everyone should know you 

Know yes, know you love me!
