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 The sweetness and the call Of a Woodland Dove As its love song echoes Through the trees The sweetness blows But a symbol of love Floating on a Summer breeze But nothing can compare To the sweetness of The one and only girl I love Heaven must have sent her my way Sweet, sweet and lovely 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, sweet and lovely Sweeter than the roses in May And she loves me There is nothing more I can say
