Our love affair will be such fun
We’ll be the envy of everyone
Those famous lovers we’ll make them forget
From Adam and Eve to Scarlett and Rhett
When youth has had its merry fling
We’ll spend our evenings remembering
Two happy people who say on the square
Wasn’t ours a lovely love affair.

OUR LOVE AFFAIR (Judy Garland)
as recorded by Judy Garland
with David Rose & his Orchestra
December 18th 1940
Hollywood
Here we are, two very bewildered people,
Here we are, two babes that are lost in the wood.
We're not quite certain what has happened to us,
This lovely thing that's so marvellous,
But right from here the future looks awfully good.
Our love affair was meant to be,
It's me for you dear, and you for me.
We'll fuss and quarrel and tears start to brew,
But after the tears our love will smile through.
I'm sure that I could never hide
The thrill I get when you're by my side,
And when we're older we'll prob'ly declare,
"Wasn't ours a lovely love affair!".
I'm sure that I could never hide
The thrill I get when you're by my side,
And when we're older we'll prob'ly declare,
"Wasn't ours a lovely love affair!".
