(Oh oh oh oh oh)
There's sweetness in the rose
With it's symbol of love
Floating on a summer breeze
But nothing my darling can compare
To the sweetness of
The one and only one
Iris?

Sweet and lovely (sweet and lovely)
Sweeter than the roses in May (sweet and lovely)
Sweet and lovely
Heaven must have sent her my way

Skies above me (skies above me)
Never were as blue as her eyes
And she loves me
Who would want a sweeter surprise

When she nestles in my arms so tenderly (tenderly)
There's a thrill that words cannot express (not express)
In my heart a song of love is taunting me (taunting me)
Melody (melody) haunting me (haunting me)

Sweet and lovely
Sweeter than the roses in May
Oh and she loves me
There is nothing more I can say, baby
There is nothing more I can say
(Sweet and lovely)
(Sweet and lovely)
Ooh Sweet and lovely Ooh
