To Make a Pretty Girl Smile Awhile

I would like to sing a little song
To make a pretty girl smile awhile
You may say silly willy-nilly
Not very fancy not very long
A little something for a little girl
A pretty girl who makes my senses swirl

I want to be with her to take a whirl
On that old insane carousel of love
And sing a little song for her above
All the absurdity this crazy life
Can throw at us and all the noise and stuff
Which interferes and keeps her far from me

I know she loves me and that is enough
And I also know that my destiny
Might well be to make this pretty girl my wife
So I will sing like there is no tomorrow
And drown out with my song the noise and sorrow
Of everything ...and she will smile as I sing
