Sun shines bright on my veranda Had a lotta luck But I've got a plan to find the only thing That never came my way In my hive, bees are a-buzzin' Hangin' round my door, friends by the dozen What I really need, I'm not ashamed to say Boy, I wanna have you standing by me all of the time Boy, when you are near me You can fly, wheeling me down, like a bird going out of its mind This girl was her daddy's little daughter Every little toy, he went and bought her But he couldn't buy the love I need so much Every night tears on my pillow Crying out my heart like a weeping willow Dreaming of the one who'd wake me with his touch Boy, I wanna have you standing by me all of the time Boy, when you are near me You can fly, wheeling me down, like a bird going out of its mind Sun shines bright on my veranda Had a lotta luck But I've got a plan to find the only thing That never came my way In my hive bees, are a-buzzin' Hangin' round my door, friends by the dozen What I really need, I'm not ashamed to say Boy, I wanna have you standing by me all of the time Boy, when you are near me You can fly, wheeling me down, like a bird going out of its mind Boy, I wanna have you standing by me all of the time Boy, when you are near me You can fly, wheeling me down, like a bird going out of its mind
