Accompaniment by Denese Coulbeck:
Lyrics
How can I make you understand
Just what you mean to me?
To have you near, to hold your hand
Seems more a dream than reality
You’re like a princess in some fairy lore
I’m like a beggar who waits at your door
Refrain:
Love is all I can give you dear
One desire to bless your life
With joy or happiness
Can’t you hear
My heart softly call?
Sweetheart mine
At your shrine I lay my love
My life, my all
Sung by Vancha March:
