There's My Lover

Dean Martin · Ultimate Collection [2009]

(Sylvia Dee - Sidney Lippman)

I look at her and I say to myself

There's my lover

Just imagine she comes running to me

For love.

I feel so proud I could shout to the crowd

There's my lover

But the crowd mustn't know

For I mustn't show my love.

Those are the lips that kiss me

Those are the arms that hold me

Those loving hands caress me

Oh, but the Fates have blessed me.

There is my first love, my last love, my all

There's my lover

Be it right, be it wrong

I'll always belong to her.

There is my first love, my last love, my all

There's my lover

Be it right, be it wrong

I'll always belong to her...
