Hesitating Beauty

For your sparkling cocky smile

I have walked a million miles

Begging you to come wed me in the Spring

Why do you my dear delay,

What makes you laugh and turn away?

You're a hesitating beauty, Nora Lee

Well I know that you are itching to get married

Nora Lee

And I know I am twitching for the same thing

Nora Lee

By the stars and clouds above

We can spend our lives in love

You're a hesitating beauty, Nora Lee

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 that angel face

Of 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 winds blow today

If you'll quit your hesitating, Nora Lee
