This is an excellent number for harmonising, written for a group to sing with lead vocal.

LORETTA
by Shirley Friedman

Loretta, Loretta, I never shall forget her,
The girl with the golden eyes.
Ever since I met her I've dreamed about Loretta,
The girl with the golden eyes.

When we first spoke she was so shy,
Kept looking down and would not meet my eye.
Then all at once she became more bold
And I saw with surprise that her eyes were of gold.

Loretta, Loretta, I never shall forget her,
The girl with the golden eyes.
Ever since I met her I've dreamed about Loretta,
The girl with the golden eyes.

We fell in love right from the start.
But I am alone for Loretta broke my heart.

Loretta, Loretta, I never shall forget her,
The girl with the golden eyes.
Ever since I met her I've dreamed about Loretta,
The girl with the golden eyes.

Please understand that Loretta's not to blame.
For when I fell in love with her, she bore another's name.
The magic of her eyes made me lose my head,
So now I find myself with a broken heart instead.
