All Your Own Am I! 1911 'The Enchantress'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Mar 2004

If you have a secret
and would keep it all your own,
trust not a friend,
trust not a foe,
and let champagne alone.
In ev'ry glass is dwelling
a lively chatt'ring elf
who is never happy
until you betray yourself.
Were I alone with my true love today
would you hear what to him I'd dare to say?

Ah! you will not deny!
Drink if you love me,
if your arms press me,
Kiss me, caress me!
Tho' for a heart I sigh;
so far above me,
let me dream you love me,
all your own am I!

Take the gift I offer,
in the golden challice lies
a magic power
to charm an hour
in love's own Paradise.
A gift the kind gods gave us,
a talisman is this,
lure to love and laughter,
ev'ry drop of Siren's kiss.
I give a toast that you will drink with me
to secrets of love that untold shall be.

Ah! you will not deny!
Drink if you love me,
if your arms press me,
Kiss me, caress me!
Tho' for a heart I sigh;
so far above me,
let me dream you love me,
all your own am I!
