If You Alone Were Mine 1908

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 28 Aug 2005

Oft times when sweet words of love are spoken,
hearts are broken and by that token,
many an arrow from Cupid's dart,
has failed in playing its part;
suitors "sweet nothings" have always sung,
in ev'ry tongue, when their love was young;
but just as old old it grows cold,
I am told, and your heart strings wrung.

Ah! if you but cared to love,
if you but dared to love,
if we were paired in love,
we'd be so happy, if you
alone were mine,
I'd promise to be thine,
if you alone were only mine
Just mine.

Ah! si vous voulez d'l'amour
ne perdez pas un jour!
Cueillez l'bonheur qui passe!
Carc'est le printemps profitez du moment
allons dépéchez vous pu ça
n's'ra pas pour vous,
via tout!

When left alone I get melancholy,
love to jolly ah! just for folly;
wisest of men have become my prey,
thinking I mean what I say;
all my love making my eyes must do,
must dance for you and must pierce you thro'
for when you're enraptured,
you've surely been captured
what can you do?

Ah! if you but cared to love,
if you but dared to love,
if we were paired in love,
we'd be so happy, if you
alone were mine,
I'd promise to be thine,
if you alone were only mine
Just mine.

Ah! si vous voulez d'l'amour
ne perdez pas un jour!
Cueillez l'bonheur qui passe!
Carc'est le printemps profitez du moment
allons dépéchez vous pu ça
n's'ra pas pour vous,
via tout!
