Lyrics:
(Verse) A youth one day in a garden fair, a rose lay withered and dying, and all for love, for love in vain, that rose was sadly crying (Chorus) Heart of my heart, I love you, Life would be naught without you, Light of my life, my darling, I love you, I love you. I can forget you never, From you I ne'er can sever. Say you'll be mine forever! I love you
