American Old Time Song Lyrics: 13 Embarrassment
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 13
EMBARRASSMENT.
I fain a winning tale would tell thee,
And know myself scarce what it is;
And if the question thou should'st ask me,
My answer should be only this:
'Tis thee I love with all my heart,
'Tis thee alone, yes, thee;
I love but thee with all my heart,
But thee alone, yes, thee.
I fain would sing in plaintive measure,
A lay that to thy heart should go;
But when I seek the tuneful treasure,
A voice within me answers so:
'Tis thee I love with all my heart,
'Tis thee alone, yes, thee;
I love but thee with all my heart,
But thee alone, yes, thee.
I fain would write a loving letter,
That might to me thy heart incline;
But here again I fare no better,
For all my thoughts in this combine:
I love but thee with all my heart,
But thee alone, yes, thee;
I love but thee with all my heart,
But thee alone, yes, thee.
