And I Love Her
The Keith Mansfield Orchestra and Chorus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When days are long and nights are lonely
And all my daydreams have gone astray
I think about the one and only
Who's bound to find me some golden day

The one I love is coming along some day
And I'll have none except the one I love
He/She may be near or ever so far away

But I'll have none except the one I love

And though our meeting is left to chance
Until our meeting
I still will have my dream romance

And through the night I pray to the moon above
To please be kind and find the one I love
