Lyrics
The flaxen hair, the tender voice
The laughing eyes gave me no choice
No more the doubt I used to face
No more the doubt, no more the chase
Chorus
The search is through, you’ve got what it takes
There was no passing you by
In my “who’s who” you’ve got what it takes
The who, the where, the when, the why
One look, and oh! no painting I know
Can equal your loveliness, head to toe
At last the breaks! You’ve got what it takes
So easy to see for all time to be
You’ve got what it takes to take me
