My dear, if you’ve been lonely,

Make me your one and only,

For I, I love you only,

Tenderly and true.

My dear, if you’d be happy,

Let sorrow fall behind you;

Look forth, l’ll keep you laughing,

Lightness to pursue.

My dear, come here; I’ll kiss you.

Let sadness weep, to miss you,

Then smile, and l will bless you,

Life to start anew.

My dear, my one and only,

I, too, yes, I’ve been lonely,

But now, l love you only,

Lightly, deeply, true.
