I'm discontented
with homes that are rented So I have invented my own Darling this place is a lover's oasis Where life's weary chase is unknown Far from the cry of the city Where flowers pretty Caress the streams Cozy to hide in, to live side by side in Don't let it abide in my dreams Picture me upon your knee with tea for two, and two for tea Me for you, and you for me Alone Nobody near us to see us or hear us No friends or relations on weekend vacations We won't have it known That we own a telephone Day will break And you'll awake And I will bake a sugar cake For you to take For all the boys to see We will raise a family A boy for you and a girl for me Can't you see How happy we would be |

My height, just average, my weight just average,
And my IQ is, like you'd estimate, just average But evidently, he does not agree Consequently, if I seem at scene It amazes me It simply amazes me What he sees in me dazzles me, dazes me That I've learned to clip my wings and soften my ways these are ordinary things, unworthy of praise Yet he praises me just knowing I try for him when so many would if they could die for him i'm the one who's worldly wise and nothing much fazes me but to see me in his eyes it just amazes me |

Ask me how do I feel,
now that we're cozy and clinging Well, sir, all I can say is if I were a bell, I'd be ringing From the moment we met tonight that's the way I just gotta behave Boy, if I were a lamp I'd light and if I were a banner, I'd wave Ask me how do I feel, little me with my quiet upbringing Well, sir, all I can say is if I were a gate, I'd be swinging And if I were a season, I'd surely be spring And if I were a bell, I'd go ding-dong-ding-dong-ding |

Once upon a summertime, if you recall
We stopped beside a little flower stall A bunch of bright forget-me-nots Was all I'd ever let you buy me Once upon a summertime just like today We laughed the happy afternoon away And stole a kiss at every street cafe You were sweeter than the blossoms on the tree I was as proud as any girl could be As if the mayor had offered me the key to Paris Now another winter time has come and gone The pigeons feeding in the square have flown But I remember when the vespers chimed You loved me once upon a summertime Now another winter time has come and gone The pigeons feeding in the square have flown But I remember when the vespers chimed You loved me once upon a summertime |

I'll take Manhattan,
the Bronx, and Staten Island too It's lovely going through the zoo It's very fancy on old Delancey Street, you know The subway charms us so when balmy breezes blow to and fro And tell me what street compares with Mott Street in July Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by The great big city's a wondrous toy Made for a girl and boy We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy Tell me what street compares with Mott Street in July Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by The great big city's a wondrous toy Made for a girl and boy We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy I'll take Manhattan I'll take Manhattan |

It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for a year, but ever and a day The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know may just be passing fancies and in time may go, But oh, my dear, love is here to stay Together we're going a long long way In time the rockies may crumble, Gibralta may tumble, they're only made of clay, but our love is here to stay |
