I heard a gentle knocking at the door of my heart,
A timid little voice said, "'Tis I,
Ia m so sad and lonely,
I love you, love you only,
Oh hasten dear and let me in,
I'll just stay until tomorrow,
And then I'll take your sorrow
And carry it for ever from your life.
Why are you hesitating?
Pray do not keep me waiting,
But hasten dear and let me in,
My name is Cupid, only Cupid,
But by and by you'll call me Love.
I'll be your friend indeed,
I'll be your friend in need,
Oh hasten dear and let me in!"

Oh, who could long resist a pleading voice like that,
A tender little voice so sweet?
If he loved me, loved me only,
Then he knew I too were lonely,
When he asked me just to let him in.
He has lightened all my sorrow,
And tomorrow and tomorrow
You will find him living still within my life.
I could part without regretting
Ev'rything but love forgetting,
And Cupid, Love, I've locked you in,
And I will hold the key forever,
Forever, my little love.
You've proved my friend indeed,
I've proved my friend in need,
And from you I will never part.
