Lyrics
Every star a-shining, every rose a-twining
Whispers softly, “I’ll be true”
When the birds are winging
Hear them ever singing
Heart of mine, I’m yours forever
Heart of mine, time cannot sever
All the world is lonely Love
I want you only
You are mine and mine alone
Love like ours shall find no ending
Tho’ our paths apart are wending
Still I claim you for my own
Refrain
Deep in my heart your place shall be
Keep in your heart a place for me
Memory will bring you near
And hold you dear, tho’ we must part
When in my dreams your face appears
We shall forget the wated years
There will be room for love alone
Deep in my heart
