Accompaniment:


Lyrics

  1. Tell me while we dance, dear
    That your dream came true
    ‘Tis our moment’s chance, dear
    My arms enfolding you
    Heaven is so near me
    Your eyes upraised to mine
    Say it again “I love thee
    And I’ll be only thine”

Refrain
Closer, closer hold me
Nestling like a dove
Sweetheart, never scold me
All I need is love
You know I adore you
We must never part
Everything for you I’d do
Idol of my heart

  1. Gently steals the moonbeam
    O’er the tranquil night
    Lighting up our love dream
    With rays of amber light
    Softly plays the love strain
    As we glide to and fro
    Whisper it dearest once again
    Those words “I love you so”
