Verse: I realize within your eyes, for me there lies a paradise,
What other bliss is like a kiss, from pretty lips I idolize,
You are so sweet you are so neat, a girl like you I'd never meet,
Just to behold you is a treat, that's hard to beat.
What other bliss is like a kiss, from pretty lips I idolize,
You are so sweet you are so neat, a girl like you I'd never meet,
Just to behold you is a treat, that's hard to beat.
Nothing I do can show how true, I am to you my only one,
Cuddle up near and let me hear, a word to cheer your lonely one;
Your winning style my heart beguiles, For one sweet smile I'd walk a mile,
Let me enfold you in my arms, a while.
Cuddle up near and let me hear, a word to cheer your lonely one;
Your winning style my heart beguiles, For one sweet smile I'd walk a mile,
Let me enfold you in my arms, a while.
Refrain: When you're near the birds sing in the trees,
Pretty harmonies, All the world is humming a melody;
When away from you I may be straying,
Then my heart keeps saying, you're the heart of me, part of me, all of me.
Pretty harmonies, All the world is humming a melody;
When away from you I may be straying,
Then my heart keeps saying, you're the heart of me, part of me, all of me.
Nola, heed and listen while I plead,
You're the one I need, Life for me is nothing but misery;
No-la, No-la, hear your lonesome, lovesick sweetheart calling No-la.
You're the one I need, Life for me is nothing but misery;
No-la, No-la, hear your lonesome, lovesick sweetheart calling No-la.
