Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you

Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone
Bring out the gypsy in me

I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you

Don't be a naughty baby
Come to mama, come to mama do
My sweet embraceable you

I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been going on?

There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I, I can't define
Listen, sweet, I repeat:
How long has this been going on?

Oh, I feel that I could melt
Into Heaven I'm hurled
I know how Colombus felt
Finding another world

Kiss me once and then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break! For Heaven's sake!
How long has this been going on?

It's very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year, for ever and a day
The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know
They're just be passing fancies
And in time may go

But, oh my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
