(Harlan Howard)

Hold me my darling, make me believe
those sweet tender love words you say
And help me forget that tomorrow you'll leave
And I'm only your queen for a day.

Queen for a day, queen for a day
You'll love me and leave me, you're funny that way
But darling, I love you and each night I pray
I won't be just your queen for a day.

No child in the nursery, no ring on my hand
For love is a game that you play
But I'll hold you darling, as long as I can
Yes, I'll be your queen for a day.

Queen for a day, queen for a day
You'll love me and leave me, you're funny that way
But darling, I love you and each night I pray
I won't be just your queen for a day...
