Marriage Type Love

No, she's not the first girl I've met

But she's the only one I could ever settle down with

I'm not kidding, I mean it

You know, it's funny how you go through life

Meeting all sorts of different girls

Then all of a sudden, one comes along

And you know, you just know

When first I set my longing eyes on you

I saw my future shining in your face

And when you smiled and murmured, "How d'ya do"

The room became a dream-enchanted place

The chandeliers were shooting stars

The drums and horns and soft guitars

Were sounding more like nightingales

The window curtains blew like sails

And I was floating just above the floor

Feeling slightly taller than before

Out of nowhere came the feeling

You know, the feeling

Marriage-type love

We were dancing and her eyelash

Blinked on my lash

Marriage-type love

We made a date, couldn't wait for my day off

Now it's a thing with a ring for the payoff

Well, I'm her pigeon, through with roaming

Now I'm homing to marriage-type love and her

I'd like to tell you a secret

I just keep on seeing her

Even when she's not there

She just seems to appear from out of nowhere

It's marvelous

We were dancing and her eyelash

It blinked on my lash

Marriage-type love

We made a date and we couldn't wait

And for my day off

Now it is a thing and it's with a ring for the payoff

I'm her pigeon, through with roaming

Now I'm homing to marriage-type love and her
