The sheet music:
Lyrics
1. When I hear words of love from you
Tell me, dear, are they really true?
You have made happiness supreme
Is it real? Is it just a dream?
Refrain:
Please tell me, dear, were you sincere
Or were you just pretending?
You told me of a wondrous love
Now, were you just pretending?
I never hoped to win your charms
But now I find you in my arms
Just let me hear you say, my dear
You will love me till the ending
Hope would be gone, I could not go on
If I knew you were pretending
2. I was thrilled with a love divine
That night you promised to be mine
All my thoughts were along with you
Tell me, dear, will my dreams come true?
