Lyrics

  1. There’s the nicest little club house down my way
    Where sweethearts stray at close of day
    They gather ’round the piano singing pretty songs
    Just to pass the time away
    I stand outside the window listening to their harmony
    And this refrain rings in my memory

Chorus
Adair, my sweet Adair
I dare you to be mine
I swear, each night declare
I’ll win your heart, your love divine
I’m saving up my kisses
And I’ve surely saved a few
I’m waiting for the time when
I can give them all to you
Adair, my sweet Adair
I dare you, double dare you to be mine

  1. ‘Seems like in my dreams I hear that melody
    It follows me just like a plea
    From olden golden days
    When two hearts beat as one
    We were happy constantly
    I still stand by the window
    Though I know it is in vain
    Recalling days brought back by that refrain
