[Verse 1]
My darling, my darling
I've wanted to call you my darling
For many and many a day

[Verse 2]
My darling, my darling
I fluttered and fled like a starling
My courage just melted away

[Bridge]
Now all at once, you've kissed me
And there's not a thing I'm sane enough to say

[Verse 3]
Except, "my darling", my darling
Get used to the name of, "my darling"
It's here to stay

[Bridge]
Now all at once, you've kissed me
And there's not a thing a single thing for me to say

[Verse 3]
Except, "my darling", my darling
Get used to the name of, "my darling"
It's here to stay
(My darlin', my darlin')
