rec 1941



Sweeter than sweet,
There is none to compete
With Dekilah.
Armful of charm
And a four-dream alarm,
That's Delilah!

Angels tip their halos,
The moon straightens his tie,
And weepin' willows smile
As she goes by,
My!

Rarer than rare,
All my life I would share
With Delilah.
Heaven would be
Anywhere I could see
My Delilah!

I'll grow strong as Samson
When she whispers "I do!",
I'll hand her the moon
And declare "Delilah, it's for you!",
Delilah!

Rarer than rare,
All my life I would share
With Delilah.
Heaven would be
Anywhere I could see
My Delilah!

I'll grow strong as Samson
When she whispers "I do!",
I'll hand her the moon
And declare "Delilah, it's for you!",
Delilah!
