My darling, my darling
I've wanted to call you my darling
For many and many a day.
My darling, my darling,
I've fluttered and fled like a starling
My courage just melted away.
Then, all at once, you kissed me.
And there's not a thing I'm sane enough to say except
My darling, my darling
Get used to that name of my darling.
It's here to stay.
