Lyrics
I must forget those dear eyes
That spoke so often of love
Bringing sorrow or joy each in turn
More of sorrow than joy
And the beautiful dream of happy days
Now is gone, it ne’er came true
Ah! how sad life now appears
But the light of those dear eyes can never fade
And in my heart still lives my love
O enchantment within those glances dwelling
How it fills all my soul with visions ardent
E’en the sparkle of diamonds far excelling
The eyes of Queen Titania would pale before you
Ever more deeply my heart is enamored
Of those eyes whose soft radiance beams upon me
Their charm enchains me, life to me restoring
Lighting my darkness, heavenly joy transcending
O thou light of my soul, ever enfold me
