Your rating:
It doesn't take a lot to make me happy I'm easily satisfied I never cared for grand affairs Where ev'rybody puts on airs I wouldn't pay a lot to own a mansion It wouldn't be worth the price Come and hear of my idea of Paradise [chorus:] A little moonlight upon a June night A little bench beneath a tree One little squeeze of the hand A squeeze in return, meaning, I understand A sigh of "Oh sir, come over closer" A little kissing, oh, so nice And then a goodbye, dear That's my idea of Paradise [2nd verse:] I never doubted anyone who told me That Heaven is up above Still, I would wager all I'm worth That there's a Heaven here on earth The gates of Paradise are ever open Just listen to my advice Any lover can discover Paradise
