Lyrics
- There comes a vision fair to me
Awake, asleep, alone
Your gentle face, dear heart, I see
I dream that you’re my own
And in a flight of fancy soar
With you to realms above
Then wake and want you more and more
To have, to hold, to love
Refrain
To have, to hold, to love you
Forever and a day
To have you, dear, to hold you near
To worship you for aye
The world would seem a dream, dear
And fair the skies above
If you, my own, were mine alone
To have, to hold, to love
2. My thoughts, dear heart, are all of you
At morn, at noon, at night
Each blossom seems of deeper hue
The stars above more bright
I’ve dared to hope this love of mine
Would wake an answ’ring call
All that I have to give is thine
My life, my love, my all
