[1st verse:]
|
So you want me to say that I love you
|
In the words of a storybook man
|
Little girl, what you ask
|
Is indeed quite a task
|
Playing hero is more than I can
|
I'm a stranger with flowery speeches
|
As a poet I never could learn
|
All that I ask of you is to love me
|
This is all I can say in return
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
I'll make ev'ry Monday a Sunday
|
I'll cover a wrong with a right
|
I'll still wear a smile in the morning
|
The smile that I wore last night
|
I'll stick when the sunshine has vanish'd
|
And darkness is all that remains
|
I'll hold an umbrella up over your head
|
When it rains, sweetheart, when it rains
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
If I said that you looked like a princess
|
Or a queen, I'd be telling you lies
|
'Cause I never have seen
|
Any princess or queen
|
Still I don't think I've cheated my eyes
|
All the words Mister Webster made famous
|
With "I love you" they never could start
|
If the speaker is dead on the level
|
And the words come from down in his heart
|
