Sweet music is the poetry of romance
There is no romance without a song
And that's such little thing to do, dear
I'll sing to you, dear, my whole life long

I'll sing you a thousand love songs
And still they'll seem so few
For I need a thousand voices
To tell you how I love you

I've only one heart to give you
One voice to listen to
So, I'll bring a thousand love songs
And I'll sing every one, dear, for you

As recorded by THE MASQUERADERS (dir. George Scott Wood)
with vocal by Sam Costa, 27th November 1936:

I'll sing you a thousand love songs
And still they'll seem so few
For I need a thousand voices
To tell you how I love you

I've only one heart to give you
One voice to listen to
So, I'll bring a thousand love songs
And I'll sing every one, dear, for you

As recorded by TEMPO KING:

Ada, would you kindly give me a little four bar
introduction to One Thousand Love Songs.
Little rascal said "Yes"
Well alright then, go on now.
Oh, lightly Ada, lightly.
Yes! Yes!

I'll sing you a thousand love songs
And still they'll seem so few
For I need a thousand voices
Just to tell you how much I love you

I've only one heart to give you
Just one voice to listen to
And so, I'll bring a thousand love songs
And I'll sing every one just for you

(Piano Solo)

Ah, talk to me lightly, Ada, talk to me lightly

Oh, you're ticklin' my fancy now, yes, yes, yes

Alright boys, swing out to me now, beat it to me now, yes

(Instrumental Interlude)

Oh, beat your chops, boys, beat your chops

In the groove boys, in the groove

Ah, the cats are swingin' now, ha-ha

Alright, I'm swingin' right with ya now

Oh, I will sing you a thousand love songs
Ah, but still they'll seem so few
Ah, for I need a thousand voices
Just to tell you how much I love you

I've only one heart to give you, that ought to be enough for
you there, cat, ha-ha
Just a voice to listen to
Oh, so, I'll bring a thousand love songs, thousand love songs
And I'll sing every one for you


**The "Ada" referred to above is pianist Queenie Ada Rubin
