Lyrics
There's a bit of the skies in her bonnie blue eyes
And the pink of the rose in her cheeks,
There's a song of the birds in the sound of the words
That come from her lips when she speaks.
There's a gleam of pure gold in her curls, and she's bold,
For she's told me her love o'er and o'er.
I'm in love, but I guess I had better confess
That I'm forty and she's only four.
