A symphony of delight

I noticed her
There at the bus stop
So I dared to speak to her

It was so cold
She was wrapped up warm
And happy to talk to me

I asked her out
Jazz club "No", film "Yes"
Held hands in the cinema

She loved music
Sang in a chorus
Got ticket for "Iolanthe"

So I loved her
While tripping hither
Now married with three children

Music was then
The food of sweet love
A symphony of delight

Dating a soprano

What a magic world

“Tripping hither and thither”

She had eyes for me

I was enchanted

The girl I had dated sang

In Iolanthe 

I adored her so

Sadly there was a problem

Yes, another beau

But as they do say

“Faint heart ne’er won fair lady”

I had work to do

We walked in the park

“On a tree by a river “

A blue tit sang

How could I not hum

“Take a pair of sparkling eyes”

When I was with her

She whispered to me

"I have a song to sing, O"

For we were in love
