Don't know how it happened quite May have been the summer night May have been; well, who can say? Things just happen any way All I know is I said "yes" Hesitating more or less And you kissed me where I stood Just like any fellow would And when I told them how wonderful you are They didn't believe me, they didn't believe me Your lips, your eyes, your curly hair Are in a class beyond compare You're the loveliest thing I ever see And when I tell them And I am certainly goin' to tell them That you're the boy whose girl one day I'll be They'll never believe me, they'll never believe me That from this great big world you've chosen me And when I tell them And I am certainly goin' to tell them That you're the boy whose girl one day I'll be They'll never believe me, they'll never believe me That from this great big world you've chosen me I'm so glad you've chosen So very glad you've chosen me
