Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I want to tell you a story,
A story of love’s sweet refrain
Fill’d with adventure and glory,
All over and over again
Strange are the capers of Cupid,
Strolling ‘long love’s broadway;
Though the story is old,
‘Tis the sweetest that’s told,
So dearie, I just want to say.
Chorus
I’d love to live in loveland with a girl like you.
And ev’ry day a holiday with skies of baby blue.
Where roses bloom forever
And sweethearts are always true,
I’d love to live in loveland with a girl like you.
- Ev’rything’s lovely in loveland,
Where ev’ry heart’s beating in tune;
Like turtle doves are in Doveland,
And life seems a grand honeymoon.
There we can stroll in the moonlight,
By babbling brooks we’ll stray;
Won’t you come, girl of mine,
To that wonderful clime,
And lovelight will show us the way.
