Lyrics

  1. I know a merry place
    Far from intrusion
    It’s just the very place
    For your seclusion
    There you can while away
    Days, as you smile away
    It’s not a mile away
    But it’s new to you

Refrain
Here in my arms it’s adorable,
It’s deplorable
That you were never there
When little lips are so kissable,
It’s permissible
For me to ask my share
Next to my heart it is ever so lonely,
I’m holding only air,
While here in my arms it’s adorable,
It’s deplorable
That you were never there

  1. I know a pretty place
    At your command, sir
    It’s not a city place
    Yet near at hand, sir
    Here, if you loll away
    Two hearts can toll away
    You’d never stroll away
    If you only knew
