The Right Somebody to Love |
|
Young and old and in between |
|
six or sixty or sixteen |
|
When you think that fate has been unkind |
|
'Cause you haven't many toys |
|
like some other girls and boys |
|
Here's a little rhyme worth remembering sometime. |
|
What makes life the sweetest, |
|
bestest and completest? |
|
Not a big doll house, |
|
or a Mickey Mouse, |
|
but the right somebody to love. |
|
Ice cream, cake and candy |
|
may be fine and dandy, |
|
But if you ask me there not one two three |
|
with the right somebody to love. |
|
One you really care for, |
|
and is yours to have and keep; |
|
One you say a pray'r for |
|
in your "Now I lay me down to sleep". |
|
Tho' you're not quite seven, |
|
what is most like heaven? |
|
It's the joy that's found |
|
with your arms around |
|
the right somebody to love. |
|
What makes life the sweetest, |
|
bestest and completest? |
|
Not what you and I, |
|
can go out and buy, |
|
but the right somebody to love. |
|
You may have a bankful, |
|
for which to be thankful, |
|
Nothing you possess, |
|
brings you happiness, |
|
like the right somebody to love. |
|
One you really care for, |
|
and is yours to have and keep; |
|
One you say a pray'r for |
|
in your "Now I lay me down to sleep". |
|
All the milk and honey, |
|
pockets full of money, |
|
Cannot take the place of the sweet embrace |
|
of the right somebody to love |
