I just found joy

I'm as happy as a baby boy

With another brand-new choo-choo toy

When I'm with my sweet Lorraine

 

She got a pair of eyes

That are bluer than the summer skies

When you see them you will realize

Why I love my sweet Lorraine

 

When it's rainin' I don't miss the sun

'cause it's in my sweetie's smile

Just to think that I'm the lucky one

Who will lead her down the aisle

 

Each night I pray

That nobody steals her heart away

I can't wait until that happy day

When I marry sweet Lorraine

 

<instrumental>

 

When it's rainin' I never miss the sun

'cause it's in my sweetie's smile

Just to think that I'm the lucky one

Who's gonna lead her down the aisle

 

Every night I pray

That nobody steals her heart away

I can't wait until that lucky day

When I marry Lorraine
