Sweet and Lovely (1957)

Sweet and lovely
Sweeter than the roses in May
Sweet and lovely
Heaven must have sent him my way
Skies above me Never were as blue as his eyes
And he loves me Who would want a sweeter surprise?
When he nestles in my arms so tenderly
There’s a thrill that words cannot express
In my heart a song of love is taunting me Melody haunting me Sweet and lovely
Sweeter than the roses in May
And he loves me There is nothing more I can say
When he nestles in my arms so tenderly
There’s a thrill that words cannot express
In my heart a song of love is taunting me Melody haunting me Sweet and lovely
Sweeter than the roses in May
And he loves me There is nothing more I can say
There is nothing more I can say
There is nothing more I can say
There is nothing more I can say
There is nothing more I can say
