Lyrics
- I never thought I would find
The girl that I had in mind
I met a few, thought they would do
But I found that fate was unkind
After I searched ev’rywhere
I gave it up in despair
But one lucky day there came my way
A girl who made me care
Chorus
Wait until you see my Madeline
Sweet as any honeysuckle vine
When she smiles so sweetly
You’ll be won completely
You’ll love her, you’ll love her
You can’t help thinking of her
Wait until the day I make her mine
That’s one day the sun will shine
I’ve got a home for two
At present that will do
For me and Madeline
- Some men keep searching for gold
They all crave for wealth untold
Longing for fame, seeking a name
‘Till they got so feeble and old
I’m satisfied with my lot
Happy with just what I got
For I realize I’ve found a prize
She’s mine to have and hold
Sung here by Vancha March:
