The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics:
I’m so in love,
And though it gives me joy intense
I can’t decipher,
If I’m a lifer,
Or if it’s just a first offense.
I’m so in love,
I’ve no sense of values left at all.
Is this a playtime affaire of Maytime,
Or is it a windfall?
REFRAIN
Is it an earthquake or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy,
Or is what I feel the real McCoy?
Is it for all time, or simply a lark?
Is it Granada I see or only Asbery park?
Is it a fancy not worth thinking of,
Or is it At Long Last Love,REPEAT REFRAIN
