Lyrics

1. Dear little girl I’ve been wanting you so
   My heart is lonely, too
   You’d make my world seem like Heaven I know
   If you’d but agree, dear
   Mine alone to be, dear

Chorus
Let me be the first to kiss you good morning
And the last one to kiss you good-night
Let me just caress your two lips from dawning
Till the pale moon above sheds it’s light
Clouds of gray will fade away
The sun will always shine so bright
If you will let me be the first to kiss you good morning
And the last to kiss you good-night

2. You’ll never know what it means to be blue
   Happy you’ll always be
   Come let us go to a love-nest for two
   Can’t I hear you say, dear
   You’ll be mine today, dear
