Ah

Little darling oh little darling
Oh where are you?

My darling, I need you to call my own
And never do wrong
To hold in mine your little hand
I'll know too soon that all is so grand. Please hold my hand
My dear I was wronger
To try to love two
Ahh uha uha uha uha
Knowing well that my lover
Was just for you
Uh only you
