Lyrics
- Don’t tell me that I’m selfish dear
For if you only knew
The love that dwells within my heart
You’d not think as you do
I did not mean to cause you pain
Or even make you sigh
If I’ve done wrong or made mistakes
There is a reason why
Refrain
Because I’m in love with you dear
Because I’m in love with you
I envy the dimples that play hide and seek
And flirt with the roses
That bloom on your cheek
Because I’m in love with you dear
Because I’m in love with you
I’d do anythink that you’d ask me to
Because I’m in love with you
- If you decide that all is o’er
And strangers we must be
The thought that we were sweethearts once
Will still bring bliss to me
And should misfortune come your way
Or if you need a friend
Just bid me come and you will find me
Faithful to the end
