Lyrics
Right between the eyes!
Quite a belt, that blow I felt this morning!
Fate gave me no warning,
Great was my surprise!
REFRAIN
I saw you standing in the sun,
And you were something to see.
I know what I like
And I liked what I saw,
And I said to myself,
“That’s for me!”
“A lovely morning,” I remarked,
And you were quick to agree.
You wanted to walk and I nodded my head
As I breathlessly said,
“That’s for me!”
I left you standing under stars
The day’s adventures are through.
There’s nothing for me
But the dream in my heart,
And the dream in my heart—
That’s for you
Oh, my darling, that’s for you
