Lyrics
- I’m the one who’s been poking fun
At my friends who chanced to be in love
That’s all past! It’s got me at last
There’s no use in dodging it
Or in camouflaging it
Chorus
You came along, dear, now I’m in love
Life is a song, dear, ’cause I’m in love
I always dreamed of meeting someone like you
No one can tell me now that dreams dont come true
I’m glad I waited, for you can see
How well we’re mated, it seems to me
All this was fated up in Heaven above
And, sweetheart, now I’m in love
- I’ve enjoyed trying to avoid
Growing fond of any certain one
Young and free, loving meant to me
“Hug and kiss and run away”
But that’s all been done away
