Your eyes may thrill me with gladness

And tell me you`re true, dear

Yet thoughts still fill me with sadness

And what can I do, dear?



I wonder if you are free

I wonder if you are free.



Do you belong just to me

I`m always jealous of you, dear

I`m not to be

I am jealous of you, darling

Why am I so jealous, darling?



Sad are the fancies that throng

Through my heart everyday

Lest someone else come along

Who can steal you away

All your beauty I would own

I would have you mine alone.



Fear that someday we may part

Still consumes me with pain

What would become of my heart

If I loved you in vain...
