Her cheeks are like a red red rose,
Her hands are like the lily,
And every time she smiles at me
II makes my head feel silly.
Her eyes are blue as sunny skies,
Her hair like golden money
And every time she smiles at me
1t makes my heart feel funny.
Her feet are like two silver doves,
Her mouth a nash OF scarlet,
And every time she smiles at me
feel a feckless varlet.

With Arm. warm arms around me.
I'll feel q sense Of peace so high
