[He:] When we met
a chill went thru me
stood there like a dunce.
Never felt so silly
or so grand!
Guess this thing
that's happened to me
only happens once,
once is all
that anyone could stand!

This is all I know, dear
I want to be with you
where e'er you go, dear,
If I can be with you
all care is ended for me,
I am even willing
to sit and look at you
because you're thrilling
just let me look at you
and how contented I'll be!
I can sense
the sweetness within you,
that is why
I'm making this vow.
In the years to come I'll continue
to try to win you,
the same as now!
For I love your nearness,
I want to be with you
in all your dearness
if I can be with you
Life's just beginning for me.

This is all I know, dear
I want to be with you
where e'er you go, dear,

to sit and look at you

just let me look at you
and how contented I'll be!
I can sense

I'm making this vow.
In the years to come I'll continue
to try to win you,
the same as now!
For I love your nearness,
I want to be with you
in all your dearness
if I can be with you
Life's just beginning for me.

[She:] Tell me you're sincere about it
if you're not I'll die!
For it's really too good
to be true.
If you are inclined to doubt it
let me tell you why:
You've expressed the way
I feel toward you.

This is all I know, dear
I want to be with you
where e'er you go, dear,
If I can be with you
all care is ended for me,
I am even willing
to sit and look at you
because you're thrilling
just let me look at you
and how contented I'll be!
I can sense
the sweetness within you,
that is why
I'm making this vow.
In the years to come I'll continue
to try to win you,
the same as now!
For I love your nearness,
I want to be with you
