IF ONLY YOU'D BE MINE
(Day / Schoman)

as recorded by Joan Regan
1960


Hopefully I sigh for you,
Tearfully I cry for you,
Willingly I'd die for you,
If only you'd be mine!

Thoughtful I would always be,
Helpful when you needed me,
Faithful to eternity,
If only you'd be mine!

You promised to love me for ever,
That's what you said at the start!
Yes, you promised to love me for ever,
Can't you see you're breaking my heart?

Tenderly I'd sing to you,
Eternally I'd cling to you,
Wedding bells will ring for you,
If only you'd be mine!

You promised to love me for ever,
That's what you said at the start!
Yes, you promised to love me for ever,
Can't you see you're breaking my heart?

Tenderly I'd sing to you,
Eternally I'd cling to you,
Wedding bells will ring for you,
If only you'd be mine!
