 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 your angel face
 Oh my hesitating beauty 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 wind blows today
 If you'll quite your hesitating, Nora Lee+++++++++++++++++++
