Lyrics

An angel in lace, a fabulous face
That’s no exaggeration, that’s my Marilyn
No gal I believe, beginning with Eve
Could weave a fascination like my Marilyn
She made me a poet
Dreaming up romantic themes
Though she may not know it
She’s all mine in my dreams
I planned ev’rything
The church and the ring
The one I haven’t told it yet is Marilyn
She hasn’t said yes, I have to confess
I haven’t kissed or even met my Marilyn
But if luck is with me
She’ll be my bride for evermore
I’ll be marryin’, carryin’
Marilyn through my door
