Dearest Heart Of My Heart 1894 Romanza from 'Rob Roy'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 30 Sep 2005

My life I give, to guard thee and guide thee;
all for thee, whatsoever betide thee.
I would watch beloved, forever beside thee;
all for thee alone, dearest heart of my heart.
All for thee in each waking hope and fear,
and thine are all dreams that are fair;
this alone is each passing smile or tear.
To thy keeping I give, love that ever shall live,
thy sunlight or shadow to share.
Yes, faithful for ever,
failing thee never.

Though changeful fate our life may part;
e'er living and loving,
only for proving,
all, all, for thee, dearest heart of my heart

I give thee all, and ask no returning;
let my lot be of grieving and yearning;
in the after years of thy happiness learning;
were of joy enough, dearest heart of my heart.
All for thee in each tender thought I own;
when all the world lieth asleep,
and for thee are the prayers I breath alone.
That the stars above,
will e'er watch o'er my love,
that heaven my dear one will keep.
Ah! faithful forever, failing thee never.

Though changeful fate our life may part;
e'er living and loving,
only for proving,
all, all, for thee, dearest heart of my heart
