My darling, my darling

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
