Jack:
My heart is aching for someone
And you are that someone
You know the truth of my story
You must believe what you see
Shirley:
I, too, may someday love someone
From somewhere there'll come one
One who will hear the same story
That you're telling me.
Jack:
Wanting you, every day I am wanting you
Every night I am longing to
Hold you close to my eager breast
Shirley:
Wanting love, in that heaven I'm dreaming of
Makes that heaven seem far above
Any hope that I'll gain my quest
Both:
Dreams are vain, but I cling to the
Merest chance that you may hear me
Dreams are vain, for whenever I wake
I never find you near me
Wanting you, nothing else in this world will do
In this world you are all that I adore,
All I adore.
