I've had my chances, had my romances too
Somehow it seemed they wouldn't do
Then while I waited, Heaven created you
And ev'ry dream I dreamed came true

You, you darlin'
You're what I've always hoped and prayed for
You, darlin', it's true

You, you darlin'
This heart of mine was only made for
You, darlin', just you

When I see the sweetness of you
I'm lost in the thrill
Because I can say I love you
And I always will

Oh you, you darlin'
I don't know what I'd do without you
You, darlin' you
I love you and always will, my darlin' you!

As performed by DENNIS MORGAN
in the 1940 film "Tear Gas Squad":


Oh, my Mother was born in the County of Cork
And my Dad came from Ireland, too
Then they both settled down here in little old New York
And they dreamed of the day I'd meet you

You, ya darlin'
You're what I've always hoped and prayed for
You, darlin', tis true

You, ya darlin'
This heart of mine was only made for you
Darlin', just you

As far as the rose and the shamrock that grows
In Ireland 'cross the sea
As sweet as you are, I know that you are
The only one for me

You, ya darlin'
I don't know what I'd do without you
You, darlin', darlin' you

As far as the rose and the shamrock that grows
In Ireland 'cross the sea
As sweet as you are, I know that you are
The only one for me

You, ya darlin'
I don't know what I'd do without you
You, you darlin', darlin' you
