Lyrics
- It never could ever be said I’m superstitious
I’d blush for shame! but just the same
I know that it’s so that good signs will bring our wishes
I’m telling you, I know it’s true, and that is why I do
Chorus
I found a four leaf clover
And the next day I found you
And I saw the moon anew
Over my right shoulder, too
They say it’s good luck the whole world over
And I must believe it’s true, for
I found a four leaf clover
And the next day I found you
- Your glorious story is really very charming
I’m forced to state, it seems like fate
But listen, there’s this in the thing, that’s quite alarming
I hold your view, because I, too, did just the same as you
