The Right Somebody to Love (From "Captain January") |
Young and old and in between |
Six or sixty or sixteen |
When you think that fate has been unkind |
'Cause you haven’t many toys |
Like some other girls and boys |
Here’s a little rhyme worth remembering sometime |
What makes life the sweetest |
Bestest and completest? |
Not a big doll house |
Or a Mickey Mouse |
But the right somebody to love |
Ice cream, cake and candy |
May be fine and dandy |
But if you ask me there not one two three |
With the right somebody to love |
One you really care for |
And is yours to have and keep; |
One you say a pray’r for |
In your «Now I lay me down to sleep» |
Tho' you’re not quite seven |
What is most like heaven? |
It’s the joy that’s found |
With your arms around |
The right somebody to love |
What makes life the sweetest |
Bestest and completest? |
Not what you and I |
Can go out and buy |
But the right somebody to love |
You may have a bankful |
For which to be thankful |
Nothing you possess |
Brings you happiness |
Like the right somebody to love |
One you really care for |
And is yours to have and keep; |
One you say a pray’r for |
In your «Now I lay me down to sleep» |
All the milk and honey |
Pockets full of money |
Cannot take the place of the sweet embrace |
Of the right somebody to love |
