Lyrics

  1. 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

  1. 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
