As recorded by WEBSTER BOOTH
with the HMV Studio Orchestra, Dir. Clifford Greenwood:
I'll forsake the world for you
I will make your ev'ry dream come true
We'll know days and nights of love
We will climb to the heights of love
Sweethearts who need no crown or throne
Sweethearts who live on love alone
We'll find a paradise somewhere
Leaving behind all worldly care
Sweetheart, today will never fade
Like an eternal serenade
For love will end the way it starts
Forever we'll be sweethearts
(Musical Break)
Sweetheart, today will never fade
Like an eternal serenade
For love will end the way it starts
Forever we'll be sweethearts

********************
ORIGINAL OPENING VERSES:
If you ask where love is found
The sort of love that's fond and true
I will bid you look around
It may be very near to you
Sometimes love is very trying
But you really must not mind it
If it comes not to your sighing
There is always one place you may find it
*********************
As performed by JEANETTE MacDONALD with
Jose Iturbi in the 1948 film "Three Daring Daughters":
I'll forsake the world for you
I will make your ev'ry dream come true
We'll know days and nights of love
We will climb to the heights of love
And our happiness we'll share together
Just as lovers do
Sweethearts who need no crown or throne
Sweethearts who live on love alone
We'll find a paradise somewhere
Leaving behind all worldly care
Sweetheart, today will never fade
Like an eternal serenade
Our love will end the way it starts
Forever we'll be sweethearts
Our love will end the way it starts
Forever we'll be sweethearts
