You seem to laugh and to smile, just all of the while
With me feeling awfully lonesome and blue
I sigh, and I cry, I know I would die
If anything happened to you

Before I knew of your love, like the stars up above
I had not a single worry or care
I know I would die, and you know just why
If anything happened to you

You know I'm not asking much, but for one little touch
Of the hand that I long to hold
I'd bear all your care, all your troubles I'd share
Through the years till we both grow old

But don't you think you might find, like the stars in the sky
To be just a little glimmer of light
The one who you know would quietly go
If anything happened to you
