"Lover" lyrics - PEGGY LEE

PEGGY LEE
"Lover"
(Richard Rodgers)

Lover, when I'm near you
And I hear you speak my name
Softly in my ear you breathe a flame

Lover, when we're dancing
Keep on glancing in my eyes
Till love's own entrancing music dies

All of my future is in you
Your every plan I design
Promise you'll always continue to be mine

Hey lover, please be tender

When your tender fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart

I say "the devil is in you"
And to resist you I try
But if you didn't continue I would die

Lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart
What a lover
Yes, he is
Sweet lover
