You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I’ll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine

You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Some, some, some, some, day
My happy arms will hold you
And some day I’ll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine
yeah yeah, all the things you are, are mine
all the things you are, got to be mine
Some day you are, are mine
all the things you are, got to be mine
all the things you are, got to be mine
