Pretty Polly - Matt Monro

Listen to me, Polly, while you can

You’re a pretty Polly, ask any man

Soon you will awake

And you’ll want to take the world

That’s when I’ll lose you

Wide-eyed, pretty Polly

Soon you’ll be worldly, pretty Polly

For all to see

Youth lasts for a moment

Hold on to that moment

Spend your moment close to me

Don’t change, pretty Polly

When you fly

Ride your rainbow, Polly, across the sky

One day you’ll be going

I know you’ll be going

When the face of love appears

But I would love you, Polly

To stay, pretty Polly

For another hundred years
