Lyrics
- This world would be a paradise of flowers
The darkest days with golden light would shine
And I would dream that it is endless summer
If you were mine, if you were mine
I’d see such happiness in your eyes beaming
My heart for nothing but your love would pine
I’d know the joy of which I have been dreaming
If you were mine, yes mine
Refrain
If you were mine my one and only
I’d guard so well your tender heart
If you were mine, I’d ne’er be lonely
You’d be of every thought apart
Just let me say again “I love you”
It thrills me with a joy divine
I’d make this world like heaven above you
If you were mine, if you were mine
- The breezes whisper when the day is dying
Of love that fills the world with joy divine
So would my heart in ecstasy be sighing
If you were mine, if you were mine
The morning sun each day would give more glory
While roses into garlands I would twine
I’d know my life would tell a sweeter story
If you were mine, just mine
