Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Never saw such perfect beauty before
Never saw such charming manners what’s more
Never saw such eyes of heavenly blue
Never saw what I see looking at you
Chorus
I could never weary
Looking at you, looking at you
All thro’ life, my dearie
Looking at you, looking at you
Wish that I were able
To make you say, “I do”
And sit across the breakfast table
Looking at you, looking at you
