Lyrics
Why do you keep on stalling
When I’m calling ev’ry night?
Why do you keep me waiting
Speculating, is it right?
You say you love and yet you quite forget you must decide
If you don’t make up your mind
Some day you’ll wake up and find
Refrain
There’s a time for ev’rything
But ev’ry one who’s sane knows
Any time’s the time to fall in love
Hearts are eager in the spring
But love as ev’ry swain knows
Is not dependent on the moon above
Cupid is not swayed by the weather
What does he care, dear, if it rains?
Every plan we make together
May not work out, still love remains
Set the date, don’t hesitate
But just make up your mind, dear
Now’s the time to fall in love with me
