Lyrics
- First time that I saw you
As you went passing by
I knew that my searching days were through
Then I made my mind up
That you would soon know why
That’s when I started telling you
Chorus
Little girl, you’re the one girl for me
Little girl, you’re as sweet as can be
Just a glance at you meant love from the start
And, oh, what a thrill came into my heart
Little girl, with your cute little ways
I am yours for the rest of my days
And this great big world will be divine
Little girl, when you’re mine, all mine
- I’m just bubbling over
My heart is thrilled with pride
To think you’re in my arms tonight
I’ll be happy always
With you right by my side
Each day a new dream of delight
