Silk stockings,

I touch them and find,

The joys that remind me of you . . .

Silk stockings,

That give me again,

Your shy laughter when,

They were new . . .

Silk stockings,

What bliss they recall,

When love promised all,

Forever more . . .

A pair of silk stockings,

So soft and so sheer,

The dear silk stockings you wore!

Silk stockings,

What bliss they recall,

When love promised all,

Forever more!

( A pair of silk . . .)

Silk stockings,

So soft and so sheer,

The dear silk stockings

you wore!
