Lover 1932 Rodgers and Hart

When you hold your hand to my heart, dear,
you did something grand to my heart,
and we played the scene to perfection,
though we didn't have time to rehearse
Since you took control of my life,
you have become the whole of my life.
When you are away it's awful
and when you are with me it's worse.

Lover, when I'm near you
And I hear you speak my name
Softly in my ear you breathe a flame
Lover, when we're dancing
Keep on glancing in my eyes
Till love's own entrancing music dies
All of my future is in you
Your every plan I design
Promise you'll always continue to be mine
Lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart.

Lover, when I'm near you
And I hear you speak my name
Softly in my ear you breathe a flame
Lover, it's immoral,
but why quarrel with our bliss
when two lips of coral
want to kiss?
I say "The devil is in you"
And to resist you I try
But if you didn't continue I would die
Lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart.
