Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And when I told them how wonderful you are
They didn't believe me, no, they didn't believe me
Your lips, your eyes, your curly hair
They're in a class beyond compare
You're the loveliest thing I've ever seen
[Verse 2]
Oh and when I tell them
I'm certainly going to tell them
That I'm the girl whose boy one day I hope you'll be
They'll never believe me, no, they'll never believe me
That from this great big world you have chosen me
[Verse 3]
And when I tell them
And I'm certainly going to tell them
That you're the boy whose wife one day I hope to be
They'll never believe me, no, they'll never believe me
That from this great big world you've chosen me
They couldn't believe that you had eyes for me
