Scene: Jennie's Garden

(JENNIE stands beside a bench, looking like an angel in the moonlight. JOE gazes upon her in awed rapture

She nestles close to him. Timidly, he steals his arm around her.)

[JOE]
You are never away
From your home in my heart
There is never a day when you don't play a part
In a word that I say
Or a sight that I see
You are never away
And I'll never be free

You're a smile on my face
Or a song that I sing
You're a rainbow I chasе
On a morning in spring
You're a star in the lace
Of a wild willow tree
In thе green, leafy lace
Of a wild willow tree

But tonight, you're no star
Nor a song that I sing
In my arms, where you are
You are sweeter than spring
In my arms, where you are
Clinging closely to me
You are lovelier by far
Than I dreamed you could be
You are lovelier, my darling
Than I dreamed you could be
