Sweet and lovely
  Sweeter than the roses in May
  Sweet and lovely
  Heaven must have sent her my way.
  Skies above me
  Never were as blue as her eyes;
  And she loves me
  Who would want a sweeter surprise?
  When she 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 she loves me
  There is nothing more I can say
