It Took Nineteen Hundred And Nineteen Years 1919

It took six days to make the world,
and on a day called seven,
a thing called love, came from above,
and someone named it Heaven.
Long centuries have passed since then,
the number none can tell;
but love has kept on loving,
some love wisely, some too well.
The great loves of all time,
could never equal mine.

Adam never loved his Eve as I love you,
Cleopatra's love for Caesar,
proved that she was just a teaser.
Romeo loved Juliet,
if Shakespeare's words are true,
but it took nineteen hundred and nineteen years
to make a girl like you.

Adam never loved his Eve as I love you,
Cleopatra's love for Caesar,
proved that she was just a teaser.
Romeo loved Juliet,
if Shakespeare's words are true,
but it took nineteen hundred and nineteen years
to make a girl like you.

You look just as I dreamed you would,
with eyes so soft and tender,
as day passed day,
I'd always say:
"Please, Cupid, won't you send her,"
And you are here and I am near,
let ring love's glorious chimes,
this world holds many prizes,
and the greatest prize is mine.
My dear girl that means you,
let's hear you say: "Me too."

Adam never loved his Eve as I love you,
Cleopatra's love for Caesar,
proved that she was just a teaser.
Romeo loved Juliet,
if Shakespeare's words are true,
but it took nineteen hundred and nineteen years
to make a girl like you.

Adam never loved his Eve as I love you,
Cleopatra's love for Caesar,
proved that she was just a teaser.
Romeo loved Juliet,
if Shakespeare's words are true,
but it took nineteen hundred and nineteen years
to make a girl like you.
