Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Charming faces, places, too
Oft my mem’ry brings to view
Cupid’s charmed me with his dart
Fired often missed my heart
Down life’s pathway straight you came
Setting heart and soul aflame
Is there harm, dear, in this charm, dear
That you seem to have o’er me?
Chorus:
The loving charms of mother’s arms
Are known to everyone
Old nature’s smiles oft’ time beguiles
‘Neath moon or noonday sun
Now charmers fair from everywhere
Have thrilled me thru and thru
But these have flown since I have known
The charms possessed by you
- Life would hold no charms for me
Should you ever set me free
I would wander everywhere
Searching for my charmer fair
Longing for your loving arms
Longing for your luring charms
Now you know, dear, must be so, dear
When I say once more to you
