My Hero - 1908

James Pitt-Payne and Ian Cousins - 21 Dec 2001

I have a true and noble lover,
He is my sweetheart, all my own,
His like on earth who shall discover?
His heart is mine, and mine alone.
We pledged our troth each to the other,
And for our happiness I pray,
Our lives belong to one another,
Oh happy, happy wedding day,
Oh happy happy wedding day.
Come! Come! I love you only,
My heart is true,
Come! Come! My life is lonely,
I long for you,
Come! Come! Naught can efface you,
My arms are aching now to embrace you,
Thou art divine!
Come! Come! I love you only,
Come hero mine.

It is my duty to bow before thee,
It is my duty to love, adore thee!
It is my duty to love thee ever,
To love thee ever, love thee ever.
We pledged our troth each to the other,
And for our happiness I pray,
Our lives belong to one another,
Oh happy, happy wedding day,
Oh happy happy wedding day.
Come! Come! I love you only,
My heart is true,
Come! Come! My life is lonely,
I long for you,
Come! Come! Naught can efface you,
My arms are aching now to embrace you,
Thou art divine!
Come! Come! I love you only,
Come hero mine.
