Nearest and Dearest 1954

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 20 June 2002

It was the age of romance,
it was Saint Valentine's Day,
a lady received with some lovely red roses,
a wonderful letter to say.

Nearest, dearest, sweetest one of all.
many beautiful mem'ries I recall
dreaming over days when, hand in hand,
we lingered in love's wonderland
The promise of springtime so tender
blossomed in midsummer splendour,
and when life's twilight comes
and shadows fall,
you'll always be nearest and dearest of all,
nearest and dearest of all.

Nearest, dearest, sweetest one of all.
many beautiful mem'ries I recall
dreaming over days when, hand in hand,
we lingered in love's wonderland
The promise of springtime so tender
blossomed in midsummer splendour,
and when life's twilight comes
and shadows fall,
you'll always be nearest and dearest of all,
nearest and dearest of all.
