Lyrics

Scene is a June night, flooded with moonlight

Setting the scene on a June night, illuminated by moonlight.

Fragrant roses in bloom

Describing fragrant roses in full bloom.


Garden bench with just room for two

Depicting a garden bench with space for two people.

You are the she-ro, I am the he-ro

Assigning roles, referring to the person as the "she-ro" and the speaker as the "he-ro."

Love is prompting the play

Noting that love is guiding the unfolding drama.

Here's the cue where I say to you

Introducing a cue for the speaker to express their feelings.


I'm in love with you, honey

Confessing the speaker's love for the person addressed as "honey."

Say you love me too, honey

Requesting reciprocal love from the addressed person.

No one else will do, honey,

Emphasizing that no one else but the addressed person will suffice.

Seems funny but it's true

Acknowledging the irony that it may seem funny, but the love is genuine.

Loved you from the start, honey

Expressing enduring love from the beginning.

Bless your little heart, honey

Offering blessings to the beloved's heart.

Ev-ry day would be so sunny,

Envisioning a sunny everyday life with the beloved.

Honey with you.

Summing up the desire for a life together with the person addressed as "honey."


One thing is certain, second at curtain

Indicating a wedding scenario and subsequent honeymoon.

Shows a wedding in June,

Highlighting the certainty of events at the second act's curtain.

And a sweet honeymoon for two

Describing the anticipated sweet honeymoon for two.

With your permission, no intermission

Seeking permission for an uninterrupted, continuous experience of love.

There's so much in my heart

Expressing deep emotions in the speaker's heart.

And so much to impart to you.

Acknowledging the abundance of feelings to share with the addressed person.


I'm in love with you, honey

Reiterating the speaker's love for the person addressed as "honey."

Say you love me too, honey

Asking for reciprocal love once again.

No one else will do, honey,

Emphasizing the exclusivity of the addressed person in the speaker's heart.

Seems funny but it's true

Repeating the acknowledgment of the irony in the depth of the speaker's love.

Loved you from the start, honey

Reaffirming the enduring love from the beginning.

Bless your little heart, honey

Offering blessings to the beloved's heart once more.

Ev-ry day would be so sunny,

Envisioning a sunny and joyful everyday life with the beloved.

Honey with you.

Concluding the expression of a desire for a life filled with happiness with the person addressed as "honey."
