Some Pretty Day 1920

Dearie I've been waiting long for you,
all the winter through,
waiting just for you.
You know the winter days
are sad and nights are blue,
dreaming dreams of you,
that is all I do.
The summer time is just the time
for making love I find,
and here's a pretty picture
that I've carried in my mind:

Some pretty day
when birdies fly to their nest,
some pretty day,
when flow'rs are dressed in their best,
just like the birds we'll fly
to some pretty nook,
just like the flow'rs oh! my,
how pretty you'll look!
Some pretty day,
when you are locked in my arms,
I'll bet you'll say,
"Throw the keys away,"
I've got the ring,
I'll hire a choir to sing
we'll do that cute little thing,
some pretty day.

Some pretty day
when birdies fly to their nest,
some pretty day,
when flow'rs are dressed in their best,
just like the birds we'll fly
to some pretty nook,
just like the flow'rs oh! my,
how pretty you'll look!
Some pretty day,
when you are locked in my arms,
I'll bet you'll say,
"Throw the keys away,"
I've got the ring,
I'll hire a choir to sing
we'll do that cute little thing,
some pretty day.

Waiting for the clouds to disappear,
seems so lonely dear,
will they ever clear?
You know the summer days
are drawing mighty near,
will I ever hear,
wedding chimes so dear?
All winter long I scheme and scheme
of plans I've dreamed about,
and I'll be disappointed
if my plans do not work out:

Some pretty day
when birdies fly to their nest,
some pretty day,
when flow'rs are dressed in their best,
just like the birds we'll fly
to some pretty nook,
just like the flow'rs oh! my,
how pretty you'll look!
Some pretty day,
when you are locked in my arms,
I'll bet you'll say,
"Throw the keys away,"
I've got the ring,
I'll hire a choir to sing
we'll do that cute little thing,
some pretty day.

Some pretty day
when birdies fly to their nest,
some pretty day,
when flow'rs are dressed in their best,
just like the birds we'll fly
to some pretty nook,
just like the flow'rs oh! my,

Some pretty day,
when you are locked in my arms,
I'll bet you'll say,
"Throw the keys away,"
I've got the ring,

we'll do that cute little thing,
some pretty day.
