[Verse]
- Sweetheart
- I seem to feel a wond'rous spell
- Sweetheart
- what it may be I cannot tell
- What is this now O'er me stealing
- Your first kiss has brought a yearning burning feeling
- that taunts me
- yes really: It haunts me
- My dear
- My heart is captured by your smile
- My dear
- at last I feel that life's worth while,
- In my arm
- Let me enfold you
- In my arms
- close to my heart I want to hold you
[Burthen]
- I was lonely
- So lonely
- I was downcast and blue
- It was only
- It was only
- 'cause I'd not met you
- Now my sadness
- is gladness
- I have heard love's sweet call.
- You're my mate, dear,
- It is fate, dear,
- That's all.
