[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.
