Amor
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
This word so sweet that I repeat,
Means I adore you.
Amor, amor, my love,
Would you deny this heart
That I have placed before you?
I can't find another word
With meaning so clear,
My lips try to whisper
Sweeter things in your ear.
But somehow or other,
Nothing sounds quite so dear,
As this soft caressing word I know.
Amor, amor, my love,
When you're away,
There is no day,
And nights are lonely.
Amor, amor, my love,
Make life divine,
Say you'll be mine
And love me only
Amor
