If I give my heart to you
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 youll be true to me?
By the light that shines above?
And will you sigh with me when Im sad?
Smile with me when Im glad?
And always be as you are with me tonight?
Think it over and be sure
Please dont answer till you do
When you promise all these things to me
Then Ill give my heart to you
<instrumental interlude>
Think it over and be sure
Please dont answer till you do
When you promise all these things to me
Then Ill give my heart to you
