Marry Me
Dean Martin · Lay Some Happiness On Me: The Reprise Years (Repri [2002]
I'm coming back, back home to you
And I know now for sure that my wandering day is through
I've been around most every place
But all that I ever see is your loving face.
When I come back darling, say you'll marry me
I wanna spend my life with you
A little band of gold for everyone to see
I'll tell the world when you'll marry me.
Well, out of mind is out of sight
Didn't know that your love would be watchin' me each night
But I have fun with someone new
Now that I know it's your love that's so true.
When I come back darling, say you'll marry me
I wanna spend my life with you
A little band of gold for everyone to see
I'll tell the world when you'll marry me.
When I come back darling. say you'll marry me
I wanna spend my life with you
A little band of gold for everyone to see
I'll tell the world when you'll marry me...
