"My love parade", song from "The Love Parade" (1929)

Wonderful scene from the musical. See the lyrics:

MY LOVE PARADE
(Victor Schertzinger)

Loves Ive known are buried in the past
They could last with you
None of them could ever hold me fast
In the way you do.
Yet the memories seem to cling to me
Something from each one you bring to me

Eyes of Lisette, smile of Mignonette
The sweetness of Suzette
In you displayed
Grace of Delphine, charm of Joséphine
The cuteness of Pauline
In you, arrayed.

Those other charms with yours need not be told
No other arms but yours could ever hold me

Lips of Lucille, beauty of Camille
You are my ideal, my love parade.

Eyes of Lisette, smile of Mignonette
The sweetness of Suzette
Thats in you displayed

Grace of Delphine, charm of Joséphine
The cuteness of Pauline
Thats in you, arrayed.

Those other charms with yours need not be told
No other arms but yours could ever hold me

Lips of Lucille, and beauty of Camille
You are my ideal, my love parade.

I'm glad you liked! I love his face. It makes one want to knock him down and kiss him at the same time...
