Lyrics
When first I laid my longing eyes on you
I saw my future shining in your face
And when you smiled an murmured, “How d’ya do?”
The room became a dream enchanted place
The chandeliers were shooting stars
The drums and horns and soft guitars
Were sounding’ more like nightingales
The window curtains blew like sails
And I was floating’ just above the floor
Feeling slightly taller than before
Refrain:
Out of nowhere came the feeling
Knew the feeling, marriage type love
We were dancing and your eyelash
Blinked on my lash, marriage type love
We made a date
Couldn’t wait for my day off
Now it’s a thing
With a ring for the pay-off
I’m your pigeon, through with roaming
Now I’m homing
To marriage type love and you
