American Old Time Song Lyrics: 06 The Fountain In The Park
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 6
THE FOUNTAIN IN THE PARK
Sung by Manning & Drew.
While strolling in the park one day,
In the afternoon in the month of May,
I was taken with surprise by a pair of roguish eyes,
In a moment my poor heart was stole away;
A glance was all she gave unto me-(Sym.)
Of course we were as happy as could be-(Sym.)
Chorus.
I immediately raised my hat,
So finally she remarked-
And I never shall forget that lovely afternoon
When I met her at the fountain in the park.
Her dress was in the fashion cut so fine;
As she placed her little hand in mine,
We talked of love at sight until the shades of night,
When she whispered very softly, "I'll be thine."
A glance was all she gave unto me-(Sym.)
Of course we were as happy as could be-(Sym.)- Chorus.
