Lyrics
- Wonderful girl, wonderful girl
After those I’ve seen I must crown you queen
One kiss I crave, then I’ll behave
Cuddle closer in my arms and just let me rave
Chorus
You’ve got the lovelight of heaven in your wonderful eyes
A rainbow of joy within your wonderful smile
Your golden locks each one
Are like the setting sun
Beautiful to look at all the while
You’ve got the beauty of Venus in your wonderful form
Sweet lips like rubies, teeth like pearl
My honey, your cheeks are like a rose
And from your head to toes
You’re the most wonderful, wonderful girl in the world
- Wonderful dreams, wonderful dreams
Haunt me ev’ry night, seems I hug you tight
When I awake it’s all a fake
I find it’s your photograph I hugged by mistake
