If Love Were All 1923

When first your eyes looked in to mine
In my heart there was ecstasy;
When first I heard your voice divine
then I knew you were made just for me.
If love alone would rule the world
from your side I would never depart;
Though fate should take you far from me,
for ever you'd be in my heart:

If love were all
oh, if love were all,
I'd be for ever by your side.
I would kiss away your tears
when you cried;
when the Sun shines bright
or when shadows fall,
what a wond'rous world
this world would be, dear,
If love were all.
If love were all
oh, if love were all,
I'd be for ever by your side.
I would kiss away your tears
when you cried;
when the Sun shines bright
or when shadows fall,
what a wond'rous world
this world would be, dear,
If love were all.

Dear heart, if you but say the word
to the ends of the world I'd go,
This perfect love I'll bear for you
till the waters shall cease in their flow;
But if some day fate should decide
that our pathways must keep us apart,
I swear no matter where I roam
Your image I'll wear on my heart:

If love were all
oh, if love were all,
I'd be for ever by your side.
I would kiss away your tears
when you cried;
when the Sun shines bright
or when shadows fall,
what a wond'rous world
this world would be, dear,
If love were all.
If love were all
oh, if love were all,
I'd be for ever by your side.
I would kiss away your tears
when you cried;
when the Sun shines bright
or when shadows fall,
what a wond'rous world
this world would be, dear,
If love were all.
