Honey
Ralph Sutton & Jay McShann Lyrics

Scene is a June night, flooded with moonlight
It's a beautiful, romantic June night illuminated with moonlight.

Fragrant roses in bloom
The roses are in full bloom and smelling sweet.

Garden bench with just room for two
There's a bench in the garden that's perfect for just two people.

You are the she-ro, I am the he-ro
You are the heroine and I am the hero of this love story.

Love is prompting the play
Love is the force behind this romantic encounter.

Here's the cue where I say to you
This is the moment where I reveal my feelings to you.

I'm in love with you, honey
I have fallen deeply in love with you, my dear.

Say you love me too, honey
Please tell me that you love me too.

No one else will do, honey,
I only want you, nobody else will suffice.

Seems funny but it's true
It may seem amusing, but it's the truth.

Loved you from the start, honey
I've loved you from the very beginning, my dear.

Bless your little heart, honey
You have a wonderful heart, my dear.

Ev-ry day would be so sunny,
Every day would be bright and cheerful.

Honey with you.
As long as I'm with you, my dear.

One thing is certain, second at curtain
One thing is clear, by the end of the show.

Shows a wedding in June,
The audience will witness a wedding in June.

And a sweet honeymoon for two
And we will enjoy a lovely honeymoon, just the two of us.

With your permission, no intermission
If you'll allow it, there won't be any breaks in our love story.

There's so much in my heart
I have so much love in my heart.

And so much to impart to you.
And I want to share it all with you, my dear.
