Sweet and lovely
 Sweeter than the roses in May
 Sweet and lovely
 Heaven must have sent her my way

Skies above me
 Never were as blue as her eyes
 And she loves me
 Who would want a sweeter surprise?

When she nestles in my arms so tenderly
 There's a thrill that words cannot express
 In my heart a song of love is taunting me
 Melody haunting me

Sweet and lovely
 Sweeter than the roses in May
 And she loves me
 There is nothing more I can say

When she nestles in my arms so tenderly
 There's a thrill that words cannot express
 In my heart a song of love is taunting me
 Melody haunting me

Sweet and lovely
 Sweeter than the roses in May
 And she loves me
 There is nothing more I can say
