Lyrics

  1. There is a name I can only give you
    Sweetheart, Sweetheart
    Something about you so loving and true
    My Sweetheart
    Whether ’tis breathed in Maytime
    Or on a Summer’s day
    There’s but one song, that I sing all life long
    My sweetheart

Refrain
Sweetheart, Sweetheart
Ever fond and true
When I whisper I love you so
Won’t you say you love me too?
Sweetheart, Sweetheart
In your eyes love beams
Hope of my hopes
Dream of my dreams
My Sweetheart

  1. There is a heart that I want to give you
    Sweetheart, Sweetheart
    Promise to take it and give me your, too
    My Sweetheart
    Then in love’s happy Summer
    Roses shall bloom for aye
    Love’s golden light, will make darkest days bright
    My Sweetheart
