| Long, long ago in a land far away
|
| A little boy and a girl were so in love
|
| Standing 'neath the moon above
|
| He said, me Japanese boy
|
| I love you, I do love you
|
| You Japanese girl, you love me
|
| Please say you do
|
| He carved their names
|
| On an old cherry tree
|
| Just like they’ve done
|
| In Japan since time began
|
| Then he gently held her hand
|
| And said, me Japanese boy
|
| I love you, I do love you
|
| You Japanese girl, you love me
|
| Please say you do
|
| In a blue and white kimono
|
| She became his happy bride
|
| From that day until this very moment
|
| She’d been standing by his side
|
| Now they are old
|
| And from what I am told
|
| They’re still in love
|
| Just as much as they once were
|
| Every night he kisses her
|
| And says, me Japanese boy
|
| I love you, I do love you
|
| That is the way that it
|
| Should be when love is true
|
| That is the way that it
|
| Should be for me and you |
