Lyrics
I don’t know why it should be so
But I’m happy as happy can be
And my heart seems to jump indescribably
Thump when this maid passes by
With her manner so shy
And just says “Good Morning” to me
Since the day when I first met her
Her face alone I see
She has such a wonderful manner
She’s all the world to me
I would like to find out why
I am in this plight
I fear I’m a victim of “Love at first sight”
Refrain
I’m losing my heart to someone
What will her answer be?
I’m losing my heart to someone
Hoping that someone loves me
What rapture divine
When her eyes met mine
An ecstacy no one can know
I’m losing my heart to someone
For the light in her eyes told me so
