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
Written by: Herbert Reynolds, Jerome Kern
