When Love Beckoned
I used to dream
Of a starlighted stream
Where my man and I would first meet
So, try to surmise
My terrific surprise
When love beckoned in Fifty-Second Street!
Oh, I thought a breeze
Would appear in the trees
And sing something tender and sweet
But how could it sing?
With a band playing swing?
When love beckoned in Fifty-Second Street?
Now when we want to coo
Country lanes are taboo
And old West Fifty-Two
Is our favourite beach
When we're on our beach
So, you can bet
I shall never forget
That mad second
When I first reckoned
That love beckoned
In Fifty-Second Street
Of a starlighted stream
Where my man and I would first meet
So, try to surmise
My terrific surprise
When love beckoned in Fifty-Second Street!
Oh, I thought a breeze
Would appear in the trees
And sing something tender and sweet
But how could it sing?
With a band playing swing?
When love beckoned in Fifty-Second Street?
Now when we want to coo
Country lanes are taboo
And old West Fifty-Two
Is our favourite beach
When we're on our beach
So, you can bet
I shall never forget
That mad second
When I first reckoned
That love beckoned
In Fifty-Second Street
