Lyrics
- Ever since we met
I’ve been all upset, sweetheart
Wond’ring how and why
And where you and I stand
This funny world would be
Heaven to you and me
If I could just arrange it as I’ve planned
Chorus
I’d make a play day
Of ev’ry gray day
If I had my way, dear
I’d have the song birds
Singing pretty love words
For you alone to hear
I’d make the night time
One sweet delight time
And you’d be always near
We’d have our love to guide us
There’d be no thrill denied us
If I had my way, dear
- Seems but yesterday
Since you came my way, sweetheart
With your eyes so bold
And your funny old smile
Telling of love supreme
Helping us both to dream
Of ways to make this life of ours worthwhile
