I'll give you my heart
I love you and you alone were meant for me
Please, give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part

Dream of you every night
Darling, I'm never lonely
Whenever you are in sight
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart
