Lyrics

VERSE 1

I want to tell you a story
A story of love’s sweet refrain
Filled with adventure and glory
All over and over again
Strange are the capers of cupid,
Strolling ‘long love’s broad-way
Tho’ the story is old ‘tis the sweetest that’s told
So dearie I just want to say

CHORUS
I’d love to live in love-land with a girl like you
And ev’ry day a holiday, with skies of baby blue
Where roses bloom forever and sweethearts are always true
I’d love to live in love-land with a girl like you
I’d you

VERSE 2
Ev’ry things lovely in Loveland
Where ev’ry heart’s beating in tune
Like turtle doves are in doveland
And life seems a grand honey moon
There we can stroll in the moonlight,
By babbling brooks we’ll stray
Won’t you come girl of mine to that wonderful clime,
And love-light will show us the way

CHORUS
