< instrumental opening >

You're like the rose that blushes in tender repose . . .

So sweet, simple and sweet . . .

You're in each tune the nightingale sings to the moon,

So sweet, simple and sweet . . .

If you should go, my castles would tumble I know,

My heart would start missing a beat!

And you're all I love, my angel, my heaven above . . .

Complete, simple and sweet . . .
