I carry it in my inside blouse
pocket, over my heart and every
evening before going to sleep. I
look at it. All the memories of
the wonderful times we used to
have, come back to me and I dream
of the more wonderful times we're
going to have, you and I dearest.
Every French girl I see reminds me
of you, but I can find none that
measure up to my girl of sunny
California, you dear.

When I stroll out in the country
I feel that
You are so near
I see you in the clouds and trees.
Your voice I hear — the whispering breeze
Reminds me, and the song of birds,
That you are near.
