Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- I care not what the world may say
Or if it mock and jeer
I’d care not for it’s smiles or frowns
If you were always near
You are my very all in all
Beneath the heaven’s blue
And all else is as naught to me
The breath of life is you
Chorus
All that I ask is love
All that I want is you
And I swear by all the stars
I’ll be forever true
All that I seek to know
All that I want above
All that I crave in this wide, wide world
All that I ask of you is love
- To greatest heights or lowest depths
I’d go, to be with you
Your kisses burn upon my lips
And thrill me through and through
To be with you I’d gladly give
My very soul and all
Without you, life is incomplete
I’m yours beyond recall
