Lyr. Add: SUCH IS MY LOVE FOR YOU
John G. Runback, 1914

When I try to tell my love for you,
Mere words I find unfit and few;
They cannot tell what my heart would say, dear,
How glad I feel when you are near.
My love, so deep and true,
Is like the ocean blue;
Its restless life, that no one can subdue,
Is like my love for you.

Chorus-
I love you! I love you!
Oh, hearken to my song!
I ponder and think, dear,
Of you the whole day long,
I plead now with ardor,
Do not despise a grand, true love,
Pure as snow-white dove,
True as skies above,
My heart's life is my love for you!

When the glad sunshine in gold array,
Comes after night to brighten day;
And bids the little birds come out and sing,
To make the world with gladness ring;
The sun does shine in vain,
The birds' songs give me pain,
No joy have I without your presence, too ,
Such is my love for you.

An old-fashioned love song.
