It seems like a dream, yet I know it happened. A man, a maid, a kiss, and then goodbye. Romance was the theme. And we were the players. I never think of this without a sigh.

It's very clear, our love is here to stay. Not for a year but ever and a day. The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know. May just be passing fancies and in time may go.
One early morning, as I was walking. I met a woman, we started talking. I took her home, to get a few nips. But all I had was a mint julep. . I don't remember just how I started.

We walked the loneliest mile. We smiled without any style. We kiss altogether wrong. No intention. . We lied about each others drinks. We lived without each other thinkin'.

Oh happy day (oh happy day). Oh happy day (oh happy day). When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed). When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed). When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed).
Heavy, suddenly they seem heavy. the linen and velvets of your bed. when our love passes to oblivion. . Heavy, suddenly they seem heavy. your arms embracing me.
One silver dollar. Bright silver dollar. Changing hands. Changing hands. . Endlessly rolling. Wasted and stolen. Changing hands. Changing hands. . Spent for a beer he's drinking.
