My Darling, My Darling
[JACK]
'Til a moment ago we were "Mister" and "Miss"
Discussing the weather, avoiding each other's eye
'Til a moment ago when we happened to kiss
And we kissed the "Mister" and "Miss" goodbye
At last I can sigh
My darling, my darling
I've wanted to call you my darling
For many and many a day
My darling, my darling
I fluttered and fled like a starling
My courage just melted away
Then all at once you kissed me
And there's not a thing I'm sane enough to say
Except my darling, my darling
Get used to that namе of "My darling"
It's here to stay
[KITTY]
'Til a moment ago wе were "Kitty" and "Jack"
So distant, so proper, the meaningless repartee
Then a moment ago I was taken aback
When you swept the "Kitty" and "Jack" away
Now at last I can say
My darling, my darling
I've wanted to call you my darling
For many and many a day
My darling, my darling
I fluttered and fled like a starling
My courage just melted away
Now all at once you kissed me
And there's not a thing I'm sane enough to say
Except my darling, my darling
Get used to that name of "My darling"
It's here to stay
[JACK, spoken]
What I meant to tell you
What I must tell you
To make absolutely clear to you
How, how poor, how terribly poor we—
[KITTY, spoken]
You know very little about me
Don't you realize I'm much too fond of you
To let money stand in the way?
[JACK, spoken]
Oh, Kitty
[KITTY, spoken]
No, not Kitty
My darling
[KITTY]
For all at once you kissed me
And there's not a thing I'm sane enough to say
[KITTY & JACK]
Except my darling, my darling
Get used to that name of "My darling"
It's here to stay
