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

My darling, my darling 
I fluttered and fled like a starling 
My courage just melted away 

Now all at once you've 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
