(lyrics as written)

Here we are two very bewilder'd people,
Here we are two babes that are lost in the wood.
We're not quite certain what has happen'd to us,
This lovely thing that's so marvelous,
But right from here the future looks awfully good.

Our Love Affair was meant to be,
It's me for you dear and you for me.
We'll fuss, we'll quarrel and tears start to brew
But after the tears
Our love will smile through.

I'm sure that I could never hide
The thrill I get when you're by my side
And when we're older we'll proudly declare,
Wasn't ours a lovely love affair.

Our love affair will be such fun,
We'll be the envy of everyone.
Those famous lovers we'll make them forget
From Adam and Eve to Scarlett and Rhett.

When youth has had its merry fling
We'll spend our evenings remembering
Two happy people who say on the square,
Isn't ours a lovely love affair.
