Hesitating Beauty

For your sparkling cocky smile

I've walked a million miles

Begging you to come and wed me in the spring

Why do you, my dear, delay?

What makes you laugh and turn away?

You're a hesitating beauty, Nora Lee

Well, I know that you are itching to get married, Nora Lee

And I know how I'm twitching for the same thing, Nora Lee

By the stars and clouds above, we could spend our lives in love

You're a hesitating beauty, Nora Lee

We can build a house and home

Where the flowers come to bloom

Around our yard, I'll nail a fence so high

That the boys with peeping eyes

Cannot see that angel face

My hesitating beauty, Nora Lee

Well I know that you are itching to get married, Nora Lee

And I know how I'm twitching for the same thing, Nora Lee

By the stars and clouds above, we could spend our lives in love

If you quit your hesitating, Nora Lee

We can ramble hand in hand across the grasses of our land

I'll kiss you for each leaf on every tree

We can bring our kids to play where the dry leaves blow today

If you quit your hesitating, Nora Lee

Well I know that you are itching to get married, Nora Lee

And I know how I'm twitching for the same thing, Nora Lee

By the stars and clouds above, we could spend our lives in love

If you quit your hesitating, Nora Lee
