Lyrics
You are as pretty as a flower
A rose that’s kissed by the morning dew
You are the spell, the magic of the moonlight
That’s why I sing my serenade to you, just you
Chorus
Nenita, when you smile at me
The stars dance in the skies
Although you are an angel
The devil he is in your eyes
You’re terrific, oh Nenita
Life’s so sweet with you
Please tell me we’ll never part
My world would be complete with you
Nenita Linda, what are you doing to my heart?
Nenita, what are you doing to my heart?
