[DEXTER:]
Oh, let me see now

[Verse 1]
Little one, I was so gloomy
Felt that life sure would undo me
Till, one day, you happened to me
My little one

[Verse 2]
Little one, no cotroversy
You're my downfall, you're my Circe
I'm a good guy, show me mercy
My little one

[Bridge]
I have such love for you
Our future could be
Heaven above for you
And paradise for me

[Verse 3]
Little one, fate might miscarry
Little one, why do you tarry?
Little one, when may I marry you
My little one?

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Little one, fate might miscarry
Little one, why do you tarry?
Little one, when may I marry you
My little one?

Cole Porter (1891 – 1964) was an American composer and songwriter. He began to achieve success in the 1920s, and by the 1930s he was one of the major songwriters for the Broadway musical stage. Unlike many successful Broadway composers, Porter wrote the lyrics, as well as the music, for his songs.

After a serious horseback riding accident in 1937, Porter was left disabled and in constant pain, but he continued to work. His shows of the early 1940s did not contain the lasting hits of his best work of the 1920s and ‘30s, but in 1948 he made a triumphant comeback with his most successful musical, Kiss Me, Kate. It won the first Tony Award for Best Musical.
