If I Give My Heart To You
Doris Day · 100 Hits Legends [2009]
will you handle it with care
will you always treat me tenderly
and in every way be fair
if i give my heart to you
will you give me all your love
will you swear that you'll be true to me
by the light that shines above
and will you sigh with me when i'm sad
smile with me when i'm gald
and always be as you are with me tonight
think it over and be sure
please don't answer till you do
when you promise all those things to me
then i'll give my heart to you
and will you sigh with me when i'm sad
smile with me when i'm glad
and always be as you are with me tonight
think it over and be sure
please don't answer till you do
when you promise all those things to me
then i'll give my heart to you
