Give Me Your Love and I'll Give You Mine

Just at the close of a bright summer day

Just as the twilight had faded away

Soft on the breeze like the coo of a dove

Someone was singing an old song of love

    Tell me you love me and say you’ll be true

    I love nobody in this world but you

    Your heart and my heart in love will entwine

    Give me your love and I’ll give you mine

Come along with me to the quiet shady nook

Where flowers bloom at the side of the brook

Nature is sleeping, the birds are at rest

I’ll place a wild rose on your beautiful breast

I’ve something to ask you while you’re by my side

A question of love, of groom and of bride

And if you refuse me my heart it will pine

Give me your love and I’ll give you mine
