Lyrics

My wonderful one
Whenever I’m dreaming
Love’s love-light a-gleaming, I see
My wonderful one
How my arms ache to hold dear
To cuddle and fold near to me
Just you, only you
In the shadowy twilight
In silvery moonlight there’s none
Like you, I adore you
My life I live for you
My wonderful, wonderful one

Calling, calling dear
Loved one can’t you hear
Each throbbing part of my faithful heart
Come to me, make all my sighs disappear
Sweetheart, you must know
That I love you so
Awake or sleeping
My heart’s in your keeping
And calling to you soft and low
