Lyrics
You journeyed far to find me
And now you say in just a day we part
I’d leave my world behind me
And go with you if you would too, sweetheart
I far would rather die, dear
Than hurt you so, and yet I know I do
But tell me who am I, dear
That I should dare to ever care for you?
Refrain:
You, why, everything I love is you
You, my heaven up above is you
And though we part, won’t you please believe me
You take my heart with you when you leave me
You, whatever is there new to say? Do?
Whatever can I do but pray?
You mean either that it’s bright or gray
So I love you, just you
You mean either that it’s night or day
So I love you, just you
