With that beautiful smile
And dazzling eyes
You are like an angel
That has fell from the stars


Never had I thought
Never had I  dreamt
That I’d chance upon you
My darling,Ann.

Ten years may go
A thousand may pass
Your love,your presence
Always be a harbinger of joy

Close this distance,
And we’ll warm  our hearts
For our fires of love
Burnt bright and strong

Quench this longing
Dull this ache
For you have my heart
For you have my love

And that makes me say
Give me oh give me
A thousand kisses I beg you
Hold me oh hold me
Till life leaves us both.*
