If I give my heart to you
Will you handle it with care?
Will you always treat me tenderly
And in every way be fair?

If I give my heart to you
Will you give me all your love in return?

Please don't answer till you do
And when you promise all these little things to me

Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer till you do
When you promise all these little things to me
That's when I'll give my heart
All of my heart to you, to you
