Lyrics

You came along and
You looked at me so sweetly
You smiled so discreetly
And I fell so completely
You came along and
Your arms were there to run to
Since that moment I’m spellbound
Darling, look what you’ve done to me

Chorus
Ev’ry street I walk on
Becomes a lovers’ lane
When I’m with you
I can see the sun
Though we’re out in the rain
When I’m with you
To lose you would be tragic
Here is my heart unfurled
You have that certain magic
You’re the seven wonders of the world
Snow is on the ground
But the leaves are on the trees
When I’m with you
Flowers sing a love-song
There’s music in the breeze
When I’m with you, Hm-m-m-mm
Please let me make this confession
You are my magnificent obsession
The world is all in rhyme
Lovely one, when I’m with you

Chorus
An ordinary day becomes a holiday
When I’m with you
I have lots of toys
But I don’t what to play
When I’m with you
Oh Daddy how I miss you
You’re busy all your life
I long to hug and kiss you
Marry me and let me be your wife
Ev’ry word I hear sounds like a lullaby
When I’m with you
Even funny spinach
Tastes like pumpkin pie
When I’m with you
Oooh-oooh! oooh-oooh!
In ev’ry dream I caress you
Ev’ry night I pray the Lord will bless you
The world’s a nurs’ry rhyme
Daddy dear, when I’m with you
