I'm thankful to say that I've found a man
Whose love is as great as my love
I'm certain that he wants no one but me
And he is the one man that I love
Day after day we will always be sweethearts
The same as the day we began
Do what he may, we will always be sweethearts
For he is my boy and my man
He kisses me and my lips are so willing
But we both agree that each time it's more thrilling
And so I can say we will always be sweethearts
The same as the day we began

Alternate verses as performed by JEANETTE MacDONALD

CHEVALIER:
Day after day we will always be sweethearts
The same as the day we began
MacDONALD:
Dream what I may, we will always be sweethearts
My lips are for no other man
CHEVALIER:
Dear, never fear, I will never neglect you
Each night I'll be here to adore and protect you
BOTH:
And year after year we will always be sweetheart
The same as the day we began
