There's sweetness in the call of the woodland dove As his love song echoes through the trees There's sweetness in the rose, with it's symbol of love Floating on the summer breeze But nothing can compare to the sweetness of The one and only one I love Sweet and lovely Sweeter than the roses in May Sweet and lovely Heaven must have sent her my way Skies above me Never were as blue as her eyes And she loves me Who would want a sweeter surprise Bridge When she nestles in my arms so tenderly There's a thrill that words cannot express In my heart a song of love is taunting me, melody haunting me Sweet and lovely Sweeter than the roses in May Sweet and lovely Heaven must have sent her my way
