Accompaniment track:
Lyrics
- I love you truly, truly, dear
Life with its sorrow, life with its tear
Fades into dreams when I feel you are near
For I love you truly, truly, dear - Ah! love, ’tis something to feel your kind hand
Ah! yes, ’tis something by your side to stand
Gone is the sorrow, gone doubt and fear
For you love me truly, truly, dear
