I love you for sentimental reasons

I hope you do believe me

I'll give you my heart



I love you

And you alone were meant for me

Please give your loving heart to me

And say we'll never part



I think of you every morning

Dream of you every night

Darling I'm never lonely

Whenever you're in sight



I love you for sentimental reasons

I hope you do believe me

I've given you my heart



I think of you every morning

Dream of you every night

Darling I'm never lonely

Whenever you're in sight



I love you for sentimental reasons

I hope you do believe me

I've given you my heart
