About the song:

“The Summer Knows” by French composer and pianist Michel Legrand, theme song for the 1971 film Summer of ’42, served as the musical inspiration for Rich’s song. Billboard author Tom Roland quoted him saying, “I don’t think I stole them all, but that’s my favorite topic of all time. There’s no similarity, and yet you can understand what I was thinking about and where it came from.

Some versions:

Barbara Mandrell 1974 (Columbia)
Country Road 1974 (Hilltop)
Jim Nabors 1975 (Columbia)
Paul Martin 1978 (Plantation Records)

Charlie Rich – A Very Special Love Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Babe, somewhere I know I’m gonna find it, babe
It’ll have my love behind it
And it will be a symphony of all you mean to me
A very special love song

[Verse 2]
And babe, if there’s a way you know I’m gonna say it babe
If there’s a melody I’ll play it
And I’ll play it through especially for you and all the words are true
A very special love song

[Verse 3]
So don’t be surprised if you’re sittin’ alone and you hear it
‘Cause I’m goin’ to sing it to the whole big lonely world
So turn your radio way down low and get near it
And I’ll tell the world I love you girl

[Verse 4]
Babe, if there’s an ounce of love I’m gonna give it to you
Babe, if there’s a breath of life I’m gonna live it every day for you
And all the whole night through, singin’ just for you
A very special love song, for you
