The sheet music:
Lyrics
1. Why has Love come a-stealing
My heart, Dear, I’m revealing
What do you possess that brings happiness
Why are you so appealing
CHORUS
Just because it’s you, not the things you do
Or your smile that haunts me all the while
Not your kiss divine, or your eyes that shine
Just because it’s you, I can’t trace it to your charms
Or your loving arms, Dear, I can only say
Love has come my way, just because it’s you
2. Dear, could I bring the sages
Back again from the ages
Just to study you
When they would get thru
They would write on their pages
