FOR QUITE A WHILE
(Ben Hewitt)


Ben Hewitt - 1959




I like your sultry eyes, I like your pretty nose
I like the way your wear all those fancy clothes
I like your walk, I like your talk, I like your lovely smile
And I've loved you so my dear for quite a while

Baby, won't you hear my plea in the words of this song
If you come with me, I will never do you wrong
I'll love you right, day and night, my love you drive me wild
And I've loved you so my dear for quite a while

I want you near me all the time
To hold me in your arms
When nights are cold, to have and hold
Your love will keep me warm

Well, I want to have you always
Baby, right here by my side
So that I can love you until the day I die
I want you to know, I swear it's so
For your touch just drives me wild
And I've loved you so my dear for quite a while

(Instrumental Break)

I want you near me all the time
To hold me in your arms
When nights are cold, to have and hold
Your love will keep me warm

Well, I want to have you, baby
Always right here by my side
So that I can love you until the day I die
I want you to know, I swear it's so
For your touch just drives me wild
And I've loved you so my dear for quite a while
And I've loved you so my dear for quite a while
And I've loved you so my dear for quite a while
