I'm growing fonder of everything,
To me the winter is like the spring,
And it's no wonder,
I'm growing fonder of you, yes.
I'm growing fonder of all I see,
A garden blooming, a barren tree,
And it's no wonder,
I'm growing fonder of you, yes,
you.
Love and life are such a happy pair,
Love and life are full of fascination,
if you get what I mean.
Living, loving, banish every care,
Is there any sweeter relaxation?
I'm growing fonder of every star,
I love to wander where daisies
are,
And it's no wonder,
I'm growing fonder of you!
[Spoken]
Yes, swing me on out there in the
garden, now!
Uh-huh!
Aw, mercy!
It's a lovely thing, I'm telling
you, out here in this garden! It's lovely!
Aw, tweeter, tweeter, tweeter,
tweet! Even the birds is fascinated this morning, yas!
Aw, mercy!
Banish every care!
Is there any sweeter relaxation?
Huh? Tell me! Tell me!
I'm growing fonder of every twinkling
star,
I love to wander where daisies
are,
And it's no wonder,
I'm growing fonder of you! Yes,
you!
[Spoken]
Well, all right, then!
