Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Strange are the wonderful ways of Dame Fortune
She sets you a-dancing to her tune, not your tune
‘Twas all through Dame Fortune
My sweetheart, I found you
‘Tis her I must thank that my arms are around you
Chorus
I fell head over heels in love at a glance
I wanted to sing and I wanted to dance
As most men do
I fell head over heels in love and I thought
Ah, here is a love of a different sort
A dream come true
Fate was kind to me that day
In your eyes I saw the way to Heaven
I fell head over heels in love
And I vow the world that we live in
Was never worth living, till I met you
- When I am lonesome and thinking of you, dear
It all seems a dream, far too good to be true, dear
Yet somehow I know that our meeting was fated
That your love and my love were meant to be mated
