Lyrics

  1. There is so little I can offer you
    All that I can do I’ll do, dear
    Dreams are my treasures, tho’ I have but few
    I’ll make them come true
    For you, dear, you dear

Refrain
I will gather stars out of the blue
For you, for you
I’ll make a string of pearls out of the dew
For you, for you
Over the highway and over the street
Carpets of clover I’ll lay at your feet
Oh, there’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do
For you, for you

  1. My one ambition is to make your life
    Free from care and strife and sadness
    That is my mission, I will do my part
    Just to fill your heart with gladness, gladness
