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

My darling, my darling
I've fluttered and fled like a sparkling
My courage just melted away

Then, all at once, you kissed me
And there's not a thing
I'm sane enough to say except

My darling, my darling
Get used to that name of my darling
It's here to stay
