Sweet and Lovely - 1931 - Two Girls and A Sailor

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 17 Sept 2001

There's sweetness in the call
of a woodland dove,
as his love song echoes thro' the trees;
there's sweetness in the rose
with its symbol of love,
floating on a summer breeze.
But nothing can compare to the sweetness of
the one and only one I love.

Sweet and lovely,
sweeter than the roses in May,
sweet and lovely,
heaven must have sent her my way.
Skies above me
never were as blue as her eyes
and she loves me,
who would want a sweeter surprise?
When she nestles in my arms so tenderly
there's a thrill that words cannot expose,
in my heart a song of love is taunting me
Melody haunting me
Sweet and lovely,
sweeter than the roses in May,
and she loves me,
there is nothing more I can say.

Sweet and lovely,
sweeter than the roses in May,
sweet and lovely,
heaven must have sent her my way.
Skies above me
never were as blue as her eyes
and she loves me,
who would want a sweeter surprise?
When she nestles in my arms so tenderly
there's a thrill that words cannot expose,
in my heart a song of love is taunting me
Melody haunting me
Sweet and lovely,
sweeter than the roses in May,
and she loves me,
there is nothing more I can say.
