If You Love But Me 1907 'The Red Mill'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 25 Mar 2004

Altho' I'm but a girl of seventeen,
I would so like to be someone's affinity,
I'd like to have him woo me for his queen,
Oh heaven above! How I could love!
If he would take me in his arms
and call me all his own,
Imagine how delightful that would be!
Forsaking ev'ry other
I would cling to him alone,
if he would only say he loved but me.

If he'd say that he loved but me!
Loved but me! Only me!
What a paradise life would be!
Life would be!
When he asked me to name the day!
Name the day! Name the day!
I would say right away,
don't delay if you love but me.

If he'd say that he loved but me!
Loved but me! Only me!
What a paradise life would be!
Life would be!
When he asked me to name the day!
Name the day! Name the day!
I would say right away,
don't delay if you love but me.

If you'd say that you love but me!
Love but me! Only me!
What a paradise life would be,
Life would be!
When you asked me to name the day!
Name the day, name the day!
I would say right away, don't delay
if you love but me.
