and multiple other artists



No, she's not the first girl I've met 
But she's the only one I could ever settle down with 
I'm not kiddin', I mean it 
You know, it's funny how you go through life, meetin' all sorts o' diff'rent girls 
Then all of a sudden, one comes along and you know, you just know...

When first I set my longing eyes on you
I saw my future shining in your face
And when you smiled an murmured, "How d'ya do?"
The room became a dream enchanted place

The chandaliers were shooting stars
The drums and horns and soft guitars
Were soundin' more like nightingales
The window curtains blew like sails
And I was floatin' just above the floor
Feelin' slightly taller than before

Out of nowhere came the feeling
Cue the feeling, a marriage type love
We were dancing and her eyelash
Blinked on my lash, a marriage type love

We made a date, couldn't wait for my day off
Now it's a thing, with a ring for the pay-off
Well, I'm her pigeon, through with roaming
Now I'm homing, to marriage type love and her

I'd like to tell you a secret 
I just keep on seein' her, even when she's not there, she just seems to appear from out of nowhere, it's marvellous...

We were dancing and her eyelash
It blinked on my lash, a marriage type love

We made a date and we couldn't wait then for my day off
Now it is a thing, and it's with a ring for the pay-off
I am her pigeon, through with roaming
Now I'm homing to marriage type love and her!
