Lyrics
- You ask, dear one, if I’ll be true
And love you always as of old
My heart will burn with love for you
Until the sun and stars grow cold
Fond lips that set my heart aglow
Sweet eyes that burn with love for me
The vows we made long, long ago
I’ll keep through all eternity
Chorus
I’ll keep my promise true
From you I ne’er will sever
Dear one, I love but you
My heart is yours forever
And when this life is o’er
Our love shall live anew
And as in days of yore
I’ll keep my promise true
- Dear heart, how can you doubt my love
Why need you ask if I’ll be true?
The mighty love of Heav’n above
Were small beside my love for you
Adrift upon love’s golden stream
I see your sweet face from afar
By night and day of you I dream
You’ll always be my guiding star
