Lyrics
- Oh dear, shades of night are falling
Oh dear, can’t you hear me calling?
Come and cuddle close to me dear
I’m happy, so happy, when you are near
Somehow I know all about you
Knew it from the start
You’ve got a million different chars about you
And I know each one by heart
Chorus:
I know when you need a little hug and a kiss
I know when your lonely heart is longing for bliss
Your great big eyes to me just seem to say
Love me, love me, love me, honey night and day
I know when you’re blue dear
And I know when you’re sad
I know what to do dear
When you want to be glad
I love you so
I’ll never, never, never let you go
You cunning little devil
I’m goin’ to get you and you know it, too
‘Cause I’ve made a study of you
- Oh dear, can’t you see I love you
Oh dear, like the stars above you
I have studied all of your charms
I need you, I want you right in my arms
Somehow all my thoughts I give you
When we are apart
And when you’re near me dear
It seems as if you
Send a wireless to my heart
