My Darlin, My Darling

My darling, my darling
I've wanted to call you my darling
For many and many a day

My darling, my darling
I fluttered and fled like a starling
My courage just melted away

Now all at once, you've kissed me
And there's not a thing I'm sane enough to say
Except, "my darling", my darling
Get used to the name of, "my darling"
It's here to stay

Til a moment ago, we were mister and miss
Discussing the weather, avoiding each other's eye
Til a moment ago, when we hadn't a kiss
And we kissed the mister and miss goodbye

Now, at last, she can sigh
My darling, my darling
I've wanted to call you my darling
For many and many a day

My darling, my darling
I fluttered and fled like a starling
My courage just melted away

Now all at once, you've kissed me
And there's not a thing I'm sane enough to say
Except, "my darling", my darling
Get used to the name of, "my darling"
It's here to stay
