DOROTHY LEE

Sweet Dorothy Lee"
Every bird light and free
Keeps singing TO me,
AS 1t flies to its nest,
In the tall maple tree.
Don't yo6 hear its soft notei
Don't you see as it floats,
1t is saying to me:
"She loves you, she loves you,
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
And the clover bells say,
Swinging over my way,
Nodding down their pink crowns,
To the brown bumblebee;
They know 1t right well,
They've secret for me:
"She loves you, she loves you,
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
And the pines overhead,
With their century tread,
Sounding low through the leaves,
AS they toss in the breeze,
From the blue dimpled sea,
lam as sure as can be
That they whisper to me:
"She loves you, she loves you,
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
And rapture is stirred
At the song Of the bird,
And the whispering tree,
AS my heart and my brain
Catch the rspturous strain
They are singing TO me:
"She loves you, she loves you,
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
And l roam through dream
OF golden-wrought sheen;
A soft web Of delight,
For my heart is so light;
Every flower on the lea,
Every wave Of the sea,
Has this message for me:
"She loves you, she loves you,
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
And | fancy tonight
will ask her outright
II it's true what they say,
The clover and tree,
And the brown bumblebee,
And the parleying breeze
That comes up from the sea;
They have all said to me,
AS plain as could be:
"She loves you, she loves you,
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
