Yours Is My Heart Alone
The Gene Harris Trio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yours is my heart alone
And without you, life holds no charm.

Yours every thought I own,
Our love the theme of every dream.

All that makes life seem worthwhile
Dwells in your eyes and the spell of your smile.





There is no song half so sweet to me
As your voice whispering I love you dear.
