Who makes the robin sing 
My love, my love 
Who brings the joy to spring 
Who else but you my love 
 
Who makes my poor heart cry 
My love, my love 
Whose eyes are stars on high 
None else but yours my love 
 
As sweet as morning mist 
Are the lips that heaven kissed 
As endless as the sea 
Is the love that you gave to me 
 
And what have I to give 
My love, my love 
As long as I shall live 
You'll always be my love 
 
As sweet as morning mist 
Are the lips that heaven kissed 
As endless as the sea 
Is the love that you gave to me 
 
And what have I to give 
My love, my love 
As long as I shall live 
You'll always be my love
