sweet and lovely
Sweet and lovely sweeter than the roses in May Sweet and lovely heaven must have sent her my way Skies above me never were as blue as her eyes And she loves me, who would want a sweeter surprise   When she nestles in my arms so tenderly There's a thrill that words cannot express In my heart a song of love is taunting me, melody, haunting me Sweet and lovely sweeter than the roses in May And she loves me, there is nothing more I can say   Sweet and lovely sweeter than the roses in May Sweet and lovely heaven must have sent her my way Skies above me never were as blue as her eyes And she loves me, who would want a sweeter surprise   When she nestles in my arms so tenderly There's a thrill that words cannot express In my heart a song of love is taunting me, melody, haunting me Sweet and lovely sweeter than the roses in May And she loves me, there is nothing more I can say
