Of all the men alive,
I never yet beheld that special face
Which I could fancy more than any other.

Were thine that special face,
The face which fills my dreaming?
Were thine the rhythmed grace?
Were thine the form so lithe and slender?
Were thine the arms, so warm, so tender?
Were thine the kiss divine?

Were thine the love for me,
The love which fills my dreaming?
When all these charms were thine,
Then you'll be mine, all mine!

Were thine the love for me,
The love which fills my dreaming?
When all these charms were thine,
Then you'll be mine, all mine!
