Lyrics

  1. I care not what the world may say
    Or if it mock and jeer
    I’d care not for it’s smiles or frowns
    If you were always near
    You are my very all in all
    Beneath the heaven’s blue
    And all else is as naught to me
    The breath of life is you

Chorus
All that I ask is love
All that I want is you
And I swear by all the stars
I’ll be forever true
All that I seek to know
All that I want above
All that I crave in this wide, wide world
All that I ask of you is love

  1. To greatest heights or lowest depths
    I’d go, to be with you
    Your kisses burn upon my lips
    And thrill me through and through
    To be with you I’d gladly give
    My very soul and all
    Without you, life is incomplete
    I’m yours beyond recall
