Lyrics
Little lady of my dreams
Since the day we met
Every other girly seems easy to forget
On this heart of mine
I have placed a sign
“No room to let”
With your sweet and winning smiles
And your tender eyes
You have brought me miles and miles
Nearer paradise
Every joy I know here on earth below
I know I owe to you, dear
Refrain:
Dolly, Dolly, sad or gay
There is something charming about you
Something sweet that seems to say
Life would be empty for me without you
Dolly, Dolly, when you’re near
Clouds and shadows all disappear
And the stars above you
Spell the words, “I love you
Dolly, Dolly Dear
