There we were all alone
just you and I,
there we were with our cares
thrown to the sky,
Oh! how wonderful
Oh! how glorious, dear.
No one heard
but the moon up high above,
ev'ry word that you
spoke to me of love;
don't you try to hide
won't you please confide, dear?

Did you mean it when you said:
"I love you?"
Did you mean it when you said:
"I care?"
Tell me were you only just pretending?
If you were,
you weren't playing fair.
Did you mean it when you said:
"We'll marry?"
Tell me truthfully
were you sincere?
When I stood before you
and you whispered:
"I adore you."
Tell me did you really mean it, dear?

Did you mean it when you said:
"I love you?"
Did you mean it when you said:

Tell me were you only just pretending?
If you were,

"We'll marry?"
Tell me truthfully
were you sincere?
When I stood before you
and you whispered:
"I adore you."
Tell me did you really mean it, dear?

Such a thrill
I had never known before
I sat still
'cause I wanted to hear more,
Oh! how wonderful
oh! how glorious, dear,
I have dreamed about
such a night with you,
but it seemed it was
too good to be true,
I was happy then
tell me once again, dear.

Did you mean it when you said:
"I love you?"
Did you mean it when you said:
"I care?"
Tell me were you only just pretending?
If you were,
you weren't playing fair.
Did you mean it when you said:
"We'll marry?"
Tell me truthfully
were you sincere?
When I stood before you
and you whispered:
"I adore you."
Tell me did you really mean it, dear?
