There used to be an schnitselbank song
That we would sing so much,
And now we sing it once again,
But with a modern touch.
Isn't this a lovely day?
Yes, this is a lovely day.
Am I glad you came my way?
Yes, I'm glad you came my way.
Came my way,
Lovely day.
Oh, you sweet one,
Oh, you dear one,
Oh, you darling,
I love you!
Do I think that you are grand?
Yes I think that you are grand.
Do I love to hold your hand?
Yes I love to hold your hand.
Hold your hand,
You are grand,
Came my way,
Lovely day.
Oh, you sweet one,
Oh, you dear one,
Oh, you darling,
I love you!
Do I long for your embrace?
Yes I long for your embrace.
Will another take your place?
No-one else will take your place.
Take your place,
Your embrace,
Hold your hand,
You are grand,
Came my way,
Lovely day.

Do I hope you'll marry me?
Yes I hope you'll marry me.
Will we raise a family?

Take your place,
Your embrace,
Hold your hand,
You are grand,
Came my way,
Lovely day.
