I could fall for you madly
Dear I need you so badly
I’d give all I had gladly
If you’d have me

Who am I to ever expect you care
Who am I to offer my little share
You’re so sweet, it really would not be fair
To hope you’d care for me

Who am I, adoring you as I do
You don’t know but nevertheless it’s true
Still it’s nice pretending that I have you
And that you care for me, dear

You’re mine only in dreams
There is no one but you
I keep making my schemes
Knowing they won’t come true

There’s a moon so high in the sky above
Night is here, you’re all that I’m thinking of
Who am I to whisper a word of love
And hope you’d care for me.

(Musical Break)

Who am I, adoring you as I do
You don’t know but nevertheless it’s true
Still it’s nice pretending that I have you
And that you care for me, dear

(Musical Break)

There’s a moon so high in the sky above
Night is here, you’re all that I’m thinking of
Who am I to whisper a word of love
And hope you’d care for me.
