Does Your Heart Beat True to Me?
Copyright, 1881, by Spear & Dehnhoff.
Words and Music by Thomas Maxwell.
Does your heart bent true to me, my lover I asked, when last we met;
Her bosom heaved a heavy sigh, methinks I see her yet.
Remember, dear, when I'm not here, your fancy then it will be free,
So I ask thee, love, by the stars above, does your heart beat true to me?
Chorus.
And the silent night when the moon shines bright,
And I am far across the sea,
I will ask thee, love, by the stars above,
Does your heart beat true to me?
Does your heart beat true to me, my love? for now we're going to part;
For while the ocean wide I roam, I'd hold a loving heart,
And when alone on the good ship's deck, und the stars shine bright above the sea,
I will ask thee, love, by the stars above, does your heart beat true to me?- Cho.
Does your heart beat true to me, my love? soon we'll he growing old;
But whilst there's life in me, my dear, and ages are foretold,
When hair is white and eyes less bright and things till 'round are changed we see,
I hope, my love, by the stars above, that your heart beats true to me. - Chorus.
