1. Just at the close of a bright summer day,
D
just as the twilight had faded away.
G C G
Soft on the breeze like the coo of a dove,
D G
someone was singing an old song of love.
CHORUS
D G
Tell me you love me and say you'll be true,
G D
I love nobody in this world but you.
G C G
Your heart and my heart in love will entwine,
D G
give me your love and I'll give you mine.

2. Come along with me to the quiet shady nook,
D
where flowers bloom at the side of the brook.
G C G
Nature is sleeping, the birds are at rest,
D G
I'll place a wild rose on your beautiful breast.

3. I've something to ask you while you're by my side,
D
a question of love, of groom and of bride.
G C G
And if you refuse me, my heart it will pine,
D G
give me your love and I'll give you mine.
+ CHORUS
