Won't say that grass will grow or ivy will climb,

But darling, I'd say, we've got a sure thing this time,

I'd say that we're on our way to a star,

And, take a tip from me, we are, we are.

Won't say that rivers flow or day turns to night,

But darling, I'd say we've got a sure thing all right.

Won't say it's winter when snow falls from above,

But darling, it's a sure thing we're in love.

 

I never predict the future, I haven't a crystal ball,

I wouldn't attempt to tell you when tomorrow will fall.

Why should I have opinions, supposing I might be wrong,

I'm mucht better off if I just call along.

(Won't say that rivers flow or day turns to night,)

(But darling, I'd say we've got a sure thing all right.)

Won't say it's winter when snow falls from above,

But darling, it's a sure thing we're in love.
