I Love Thee Op 14 No 2 1889 Victor Herbert

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 26 May 2004

What change is this come over me,
As of unrest and joy so strangely blended,
since from his lips
the words I comprehended,
those tender words, those tender words.
I love but thee,
I love, I love but thee.

Repose and rest have flown from me,
tho' from my heart
the tranquil peace was driven,
still greater joy and happiness are given,
still greater joy and happiness are given
with those sweet words. I love but thee.

Now in love's fetters he holds me,
so firmly bound and yet so strongly clinging
and ever in my heart the words are ringing,
those tender words, those tender words;

I love but thee, I love, I love but thee,
I love, love but thee!
