Lover

Paul Whiteman

Lover, when I'm near you

And I hear You speak my name

Softly, in my ear you breathe a flame.

Lover, when we're dancing

Keep on glancing in my eyes,

Til love's own entrancing music dies.

All of my future is in you.

Your ev'ry plan I design

Promise you'll always continue

To be mine.

Lover, please be tender,

When your tender fears depart,

Lover, I surrender to my heart.
