a 1922 popular song
words and music by Walter Scanlan
The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Don’t ever think you are safe and secure
Safe from the arrows of Cupid
For if you’re wise you will ne’er be too sure
And all the more if you’re stupid
You may have vowed you will always be strong
Never to yield to love’s calling
But when the right little girl comes along
Just like the rest you’ll be falling
Chorus:
Some day when you meet her
She will steal a place in your heart
Some day when you greet her
You will feel all your pulses start
Some day like the morning
When the darkness fades up above
Breaking without warning
Will come the dawning of love
- Many believers in love at first sight
Often before that first meeting
Vowed to resist it with all of their might
But time brings changes in fleeting
Just like a bolt from the blue sky above
Shakes Mother Earth with it’s thunder
You will be smitten when you fall in love
Tearing your poor heart asunder
