Quotes

  • Sweet and lovely, sweeter than the roses in May,And she loves me, there is nothing more I can say.
  • I may seem proud; I may act gay,It's just a pose; I'm not that way,.'Cause deep down in my heart I say,I surrender, dear.
  • So rare,You're like the sparkle of old champagne;Orchids in cellophaneCouldn't compare to you.
  • I fell in love with you first time I looked intoThem there eyes.You've got a certain li'l cute way of flirtin' withThem there eyes.
