I won't tell of my love
To the red, red rose
Or the running brook
Where the sweet magnolia grows.

I won't tell of my love
To every little star
Or the whippoorwill
On the hill above.

I'll tell the man in the street
And everyone I meet
That you and I are sweethearts.

I'll shout it out from the roof
I'll give the papers proof
That we two are complete hearts.

I want the world to know
I'd use the radio.

And when I've said all I say
You may be old and gray
But you can't get away from me.
