Classic Poem

VERSE 1

I'm discontented
With homes that are rented
So I have invented
My own.
Darling, this place is
A lover's oasis,
Where life's weary chase is
Unknown.
Far from the cry of the city,
Where flowers pretty
Caress the streams,
Cozy to hide in,
To live side by side in,
Don't let it abide in
My dreams.

REFRAIN

Picture you upon my knee,
Just tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you and you for me alone.
Nobody near us to see us or hear us,
No friends or relations on weekend vacations,
We won't have it known, dear,
That we own a telephone, dear.
Day will break and you'll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For me to take for all the boys to see.
We will raise a family,
A boy for you, a girl for me,
Oh can't you see how happy we would be?

VERSE 2

You are revealing
A plan so appealing
I can't help but feeling
For you.
Darling, I planned;
Can't you understand, it
Is yours to command it,
So do.
All of your schemes I'm admiring,
They're worth desiring;
But can't you see,
I'd like to wait, dear,
For some future date, dear.
It won't be too late, dear,
For me.
