LOOK IN MY HEART.
Copyright, 1894. by T. B. Harms & Co.
Words by Chauncey Olcott. Music by Charles E. Pratt.
Why will you ask me, my darling, to tell you if my heart is true?
Do you not know it, my loved one? Judge it by your love-oh, do.
Then, if you find it still wanting, come to me, then, and I'll prove
That you have err'd in your judgment, my darling,
Judgment of one who loves you. judgment of one who loves you, loves you.
Look in my heart with thine eyes, dear, there you will find if enshrined;
Look in my heart with thine eyes, dear, for love it is there, and thine;
Look in my heart with thine eyes, dear, for love it is there, and thine
What is my love, oh, my darling? How can I and words to tell?
Ask of the flowers in the meadow, ask of the flowers in the dell.
Had I but power, love, to tell you all that my heart holds for you,
Then you'd believe me, my daring, knowing that my love was true.
What made me love you. my darling? How can I answer you this?
My heart first spoke, in its throbbing, throbbing at that first sweet kiss,
Which on my lips is still burning, there it shall ever remain;
Nothing but death can erase it, my darling;
In heav'n 'twill he there the same, in heav'n 'twill be there the some, the same.
Look in my heart with thine eyes, dear, there you will find it enshrined;
Look in my heart, with thine eyes, dear, for love it is there, and thine;
Look in my heart, with thine eyes, dear, for love it is there, and thine.
