I love you truly, truly dear, Life with its sorrow, life with its tears Fades into dreams when I feel you are near For I love you truly, truly dear.
Ah! Love, 'tis something to feel your kind hand Ah! Yes, 'tis something by your side to stand; Gone is the sorrow, gone doubt and fear, For you love me truly, truly dear.
