Lyrics
Now that fate has called me from your side
Dear little girl, little girl of mine
Thru the days of darkness I’ll abide
Heart of my heart, I will wait and pine
Hope and the sun will shine thru, dear
I’ll think of you, always of you, dear
Refrain
Always you, always you
No one but you for my own
Night and day, far away
Longing for you alone to be brave dear
For time will fly, bye and bye
We’ll make our dreams come true
Years may pass by, love cannot die
It will be always you
