Finian's Rainbow movie - When I'm Not Near the Girl I Love lyrics

rate me

<br>

Oh my heart is beating wildly<br>

And it's all because you're here.<br>

When I'm not near the girl I love,<br>

I love the girl I'm near.<br>

Ev'ry femme that flutters by me<br>

Is a flame that must be fanned.<br>

When I can't fondle the hand I'm fond of,<br>

I fondle the hand at hand.<br>

My heart's in a pickle,<br>

It's constantly fickle<br>

And not too partickle, I fear.<br>

When I'm not near the girl I love,<br>

I love the girl I'm near.<br>

<br>

I'm confessing a confession<br>

And I hope I'm not verbose<br>

When I'm not close to the kiss that I cling to,<br>

I cling to the kiss that's close<br>

As I'm more and more a mortal<br>

I am more and more a case.<br>

When I'm not facing the face that I fancy.<br>

I fancy the face I face.<br>

For Sharon I'm carin', <br>

But Susan I'm choosin' <br>

I'm faithful to whos'n is here.<br>

When I'm not near the girl I love,<br>

I love the girl I'm near.<br>

<br>
