Words Cannot Tell My Love For Thee, - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Words Cannot Tell My Love for Thee, Copyright. 1896, by T. B. Harms & Co. Words and Music by Richard Stahl. 
Words cannot tell how I love thee; let me not try to speak; Read in my eyes the answer that thy heart seems to seek. Why must we wait till morrow? Call me thine own to-day; Silence the pain and sorrow, love me, tho' come what may. 
Chorus. Words are too vague, too empty, to speak of my devotion; Read in my heart the answer, 'tis written there, you'll see. Thou art mine own forever, I will forsake thee never: Ask, And my heart will answer: "Words cannot tell my love for thee." 
No one could love thee, my darling, more than I do, 'tis true; Nature around us re-echoes that I love only you: And when some day in silence thou'rt brooding all alone, Think of the one who loves thee, and calls thee e'er his own.-Chorus.
