Lyrics

  1. A-down the way he softly came
    How gracious ev’ry motion
    His princely form so tall and straight
    His mien awoke devotion
    His voice my life, my soul did thrill
    His smile dispelled all care
    As with exultant pride my heart
    With rapture did declare

Refrain
He’s my sweetheart, my lover, my friend
And he’s taken my heart away
But left in it’s place another so true
That I’m happier day by day
For I know that no power save that from above
Could sever a love so divine
It is welded together by immortal fire
Which comes from his heart and mine

  1. Still gracious, thoughtful, true and kind
    Tho gone are many years
    Since first our troth we made and pledged
    With laughter and with tears
    His voice my soul, my life yet thrill
    His smile drives back all care
    Ah, with exultant pride my heart
    With rapture now declares

Refrain
He’s my sweetheart, my husband, my friend
Long ago my heart away
But there’s in it’s place another so true
That I’m happier day by day
For I know that no power save that from above
Could sever a love so divine
It is welded together by immortal fire
Which comes from his heart and mine
