(film soundtrack)


My royal day can be a royal bore,
It leaves me colder than a basement floor!
The only moment I keep waiting for
Is when the day will be through.

I never notice if it's dark or clear,
What people say to me I hardly hear,
The passing hours are an endless year,
Until at last I'm alone with you!

Every night at seven,
You walk in as fresh as clover
And I begin to sigh all over again!
Every night at seven,
You come by like May returning
And me oh my, I start in yearning again!

You seem to bring
Faraway spring near me.
I'm always in full bloom
When you're in the room.

Every night at seven,
Every time the same thing happens,
I fall once again in love,
But only with you!

Every night at seven,
Every time the same thing happens,
I fall once again in love,
But only with you!
