Lyrics
- Dear one, Dear one, I realize
In your arms, I found Paradise
And though the time is near to say “Goodbye”
I hate to go, for I love you so, Oh!
Chorus
Let me linger longer in your arms
Give me all your sweet and tender charms
While the stars are twinkling up above you
Let me tell you just how much I love you
Wond’rous night of bliss, a hug, a kiss
I’ve been waiting only just for this
So while the moon is shining through the palms
Let me linger longer in your arms
- Dear one, Dear one, let me confess
In your arms, I find happiness
When we’re alone, the world is all our own
My heart’s at ease, that’s just why I tease, please
