Honey
Rudy Vallée Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fragrant roses in bloom
Garden bench with just room for two
You are the she-ro, I am the he-ro
Love is prompting the play
Here's the cue where I say to you
Say you love me too, Honey
No one else will do, Honey,
Seems funny but it's true
Loved you from the start, Honey
Bless your little heart, Honey
Ev-ry day would be so sunny,
Honey with you.
One thing is certain, second at curtain
Shows a wedding in June,
And a sweet honeymoon for two
With your permission, no intermission
There's so much in my heart
And so much to impart to you.
I'm in love with you, Honey
Say you love me too, Honey
No one else will do, Honey,
Seems funny but it's true
Loved you from the start, Honey
Bless your little heart, Honey
Ev-ry day would be so sunny,
Honey with you.
