[The Poem]
I’m just smilin’...

I’m so happy,
I’m just smilin’...

I feel so blessed,
So wonderfully blessed—
So blessed, Oh, yes,
So blessed by the best—

And ah, the joy,
The beautiful joy—
Oh boy, oh boy,
I’m so full of joy—
You wanna know why?
You wanna know why?
Good gosh, oh my,
I’m tellin’ you why—

It’s ‘cause I’m in love,
I’m madly in love—
I’m glowin’ because
I’m madly in love—

This very first time,
My life is just fine—
Thank Heaven above;
I’m madly in love—

I’m happy and giddy and joyful,
Because—it’s happened to me,
I’m madly in love—

I’m just smilin’...

I’m so happy,
I’m just smilin’...
