I Do Adore Her


written by: Harry Belafonte
performed by: Harry Belafonte
from the album: Calypso

When shadows fall,
and stars appear,
the pain I feel,
I cannot bear.
If I could live
that fateful day,
I would not turn my love away.

**chorus**

I'd reveal how I do adore her.
Hang my heart on my sleeve just for her.
All my love throughout life assure her,
If this moment I could amore her.

**repeat**

**end chorus**

When I think of her tender lips,
gentle touch of her finger tips,
reminisce on her eyes so fair,
moonlight soft on her downy hair...

**chorus**

If some day, I should see her smile,
hold her hand and me heart beguile,
feel her warmth, hear her earnest prayer,
darling, she'll become all despair.

**chorus**

Now I'm standing alone and sad,
thinking on all the joys I've had.
Time makes fools of man they say.
Take me back to that distant day.

**chorus**

....fade...
