The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[1st verse:]
So you want me to say that I love you
In the words of a storybook man
Little girl, what you ask
Is indeed quite a task
Playing hero is more than I can
I'm a stranger with flowery speeches
As a poet I never could learn
All that I ask of you is to love me
This is all I can say in return
[Refrain:]
I'll make ev'ry Monday a Sunday
I'll cover a wrong with a right
I'll still wear a smile in the morning
The smile that I wore last night
I'll stick when the sunshine has vanish'd
And darkness is all that remains
I'll hold an umbrella up over your head
When it rains, sweetheart, when it rains
[2nd verse:]
If I said that you looked like a princess
Or a queen, I'd be telling you lies
'Cause I never have seen
Any princess or queen
Still I don't think I've cheated my eyes
All the words Mister Webster made famous
With "I love you" they never could start
If the speaker is dead on the level
And the words come from down in his heart
