[Chorus: Doris Day, Buddy Clark, Both]
My darling, my darling
I've wanted to call you my darling
For many and many a day
My darling, my darling
I fluttered and fled like a starling
My courage just melted away
Now all at once you've kissed me
And there's not a thing I'm sane enough to say
Except my darling, my darling
Get used to the name of "My darling"
It's here to stay

[Verse: Doris Day & Buddy Clark]
'Til a moment ago we were "Mister" and "Miss"
Discussing the weather, avoiding each other's eye
'Til a moment ago when we happened to kiss
And we kissed the "Mister" and "Miss" goodbye
Now at last she can sigh

[Chorus: Doris Day, Buddy Clark, Both]
My darling, my darling
I've wanted to call you my darling
For many and many a day
My darling, my darling
I fluttered and fled like a starling
My courage just melted away
Now all at once you've kissed me
And there's not a thing I'm sane enough to say
Except my darling, my darling
Get used to that name of "My darling"
It's here to stay
