To a Young Niece Believing In All Good Things

It might shimmy down a chimney
It might ride a beam of light
It might tie the ends of Time
With a single kiss goodnight.
Yes, that's right, love is on its way, my love.

It might dress in comeback fashions
It might scream like fired up passions
It might ask the point in askin'
When Lord knows how it happens.
Yes, liebchen, love is on its way, my love.

It might compliment an old green dress
It might quiver at the first caress.
It might even ask to keep a tress
But Lord knows it will leave a mess.
Yes, yes, yes, love is on its way, my love.
