by Carrie Jacobs-Bond (1861 - 1946)
I love you truly
Language: English
I love you truly, dear,
Life with its sorrow,
life with its tear,
Fades into dreams
when I feel you are near,
For I love you truly, dear.
Ah! love, 'tis something
to feel your kind hand,
Ah! yes, 'tis something
by your side to stand,
Gone is the sorrow,
Gone doubt and fear,
For you love me truly, dear.
