For Love Alone 1935

Love songs, sweetly blended,
send ev'ry care
far in the air
when I met you, my dear.
Sunshine warm and splendid
made ev'ry day
happy and gay.
But I still have one fear.

I have so little to give
only say you can live
for love alone.
Now you have taken my heart,
I have set it apart
for you, my own.
How could I ever have dreamed
life would ever have seemed
to be so sweet.
Why should I try concealing
this feeling divine;
tell me that I may take you
and make you all mine.
I have so litte to give.
Won't you say you can live
for love alone?

Like some star above me,
could you but fly
out of the sky
into these arms of mine,
only say you love me,
care will depart,
happy of heart,
life will become divine.

I have so little to give
only say you can live
for love alone.
Now you have taken my heart,
I have set it apart
for you, my own.
How could I ever have dreamed
life would ever have seemed
to be so sweet.
Why should I try concealing
this feeling divine;
tell me that I may take you
and make you all mine.
I have so litte to give.
Won't you say you can live
for love alone?
