Music is a language lovers understand Melody and romance wander hand in hand Cupid never fails assisted by a band So if you have something sweet to tell her Say it with music Beautiful music Somehow they'd rather be kissed To the strains of Chopin or Liszt A melody mellow Played on a cello Helps mister Cupid along So say it with a beautiful song There's a tender message deep down in my heart Something you should know, but how am I to start? Sentimental speeches never could impart Just exactly what I want to tell you
