Lyrics
- Just let your eyes look into mine
Pretend they shine with love divine
Imagine stars above
Imagine we’re in love
Let me your tender look return
As though I yearn, that’s how we learn
What foolish things we both would do
If you loved me and I loved you
Refrain:
If I were in love with you, little girl
And you were in love with me
We’d cuddle and kiss and coo, little girl
I’d sigh, and I’d cry, and I’d die
Oh, how I could love you, dear
I’d make all your dreams come true, little girl
There’s nothing I would not do
I would steal you the moon
And make every month June
If I were in love with you
- And when my arms enfold you, dear
Alas! I fear, we’re both sincere
Romance that starts in jest
May be love unconfessed
No one denies the light that lies
In woman’s eyes, just lies and lies
Would this be true? oh tell me, do
If you loved me and I loved you
