When There's No Light At All 1911

You're a darling, charming maiden
with a wealth of beauties laden,
and every time I see you
you're a more delightful sight,
When I meet you in the morning,
Just a simple dress adorning,
I think you're just perfection
till we meet again at night,
And though it isn't absolutely clear,
I seem to reach this one conclusion dear.

I like you, dear,
in the morning light,
or the blazing light of noon,
You seem just right,
on a starlit night
and sweeter by the light of the moon,
I like you dear when the lights are dim,
and the evening shadows fall,
But of all the rest I like you best
when there's no light at all!

Like you, dear,
in the morning light,
or the blazing light of noon,
You seem just right,
on a starlit night
and sweeter by the light of the moon,
I like you dear when the lights are dim,
and the evening shadows fall,
But of all the rest I like you best
when there's no light at all!

Not to treat the matter lightly
I have pondered o'er it nightly,
Remembering with delight how
your beauties change each hour,
Like a morning glory stealing,
and at even tide revealing,
The absolute perfection
of a full blown fragrant flow'r,
And so in desperation I must say,
I like you ev'ry hour of the day.

I like you, dear,
in the morning light,
or the blazing light of noon,
You seem just right,
on a starlit night
and sweeter by the light of the moon,
I like you dear when the lights are dim,
and the evening shadows fall,
But of all the rest I like you best
when there's no light at all!

Like you, dear,
in the morning light,
or the blazing light of noon,
You seem just right,
on a starlit night
and sweeter by the light of the moon,
I like you dear when the lights are dim,
and the evening shadows fall,
But of all the rest I like you best
when there's no light at all!
