Silk Stockings
Silk stockings,
I touch them and find,
The joys that remind me of you . . .
Silk stockings,
That give me again,
Your shy laughter when,
They were new . . .
Silk stockings,
What bliss they recall,
When love promised all,
Forever more . . .
A pair of silk stockings,
So soft and so sheer,
The dear silk stockings you wore!
< instrumental verse >
Silk stockings,
What bliss they recall,
When love promised all,
Forever more!
( A pair of silk . .
. )
Silk stockings,
So soft and so sheer,
The dear silk stockings
you wore!
