When I think of words
For all the charms that you possess
I invent new phrases meant for you

Though I find a million
That will suit you, I confess
There's but one description that will do

You're like the rose
That blushes in tender repose
So sweet, simple and sweet

You're in each tune
The nightingale sings to the Moon
So sweet, simple and sweet

If you should go
My castles would tumble, I know
My heart would start missing a beat

You're all I love
My angel, my heaven above
Complete, simple and sweet

You're like a rose
That blushes in tender repose
So sweet, so simple and sweet

You're in each tune
The nightingale sings to the Moon
So sweet, simple and sweet

If you should go
My castles would tumble, I know
My heart would start missing a beat

You're all I love
My angel, my heaven above
Complete, so simple and sweet

Oh, darlin', please tell me
What makes you simple and sweet
