Lyrics
- I’ve a few words to say
Tell me do, what are they?
Can’t you guess, have a shot
I confess, I cannot
Suppose you could care for me?
Suppose I should? Let me see
I’m in love, that is why
Heavens above, so am I
Old Adam, I believe
Said much the same to Eve
Refrain
It’s the same old song once again
With the same old tender refrain
And the words seem to start
From the depths of the heart
To a tune that gets on the brain
It’s a song of pleasure and pain
It’s a song of sunshine and rain
And the day that we met
Heaven made a duet
Of the same old song once again
- I love you, d’you love me?
‘Course I do, can’t you see?
Are you sure you’ll be true?
Yes, if you’re faithful, too
You’ll be my wedded wife
Till I die, yours for life
All the earth will be ours
All the mirth, all the flowers
And life will flow along
A thread of silver song
