lyrics

am I kind my love?
do you mind my love?
my heart’s not blind
but it does not scrutinize my love
my heart sees itself whenever I look at you

I hope I have a way
with all these words I say
to wish you nothing but a wonderful day
but wishing’s just a game
whenever I look at you

love’s a lonely song we make up as we go along
a lovely way to pass the time for two
though time rolls away and fades
as long as that sweet melody plays
I’m gonna be tappin my feet right here
with you

your eyes they never miss
my worried mind they kiss
the warmth you share with me is all I know of bliss
I need know nothing at all whenever I look at you

though doubts have often swirled
hard words been falsely hurled
they’re always clouds my love
in this funny little world
but everything’s in the light
whenever I look at you

love’s a lonely song we make up as we go along
a lovely way to pass the time for two
though time rolls away and fades
as long as that sweet melody plays
I’m gonna be tappin my feet right here
with you
