I want no stars in heav'n to guide me,
I need no moon - no sun to shine
While I have you, sweetheart beside me,
While I know that you are mine.

I need not fear whate'er betide me,
For straight and sweet my pathway lies,
I want no stars in heav'n to guide me,
While I gaze in your dear eyes.

I hear no birds at twilight calling,
I catch no music in the streams
While your golden words are falling,
While you whisper in my drems.

Ev'ry sound of joy enthralling
Speaks in your dear voice alone,
While I hear your fond lips calling,
While you speak to me, mine own.

I want no kingdom where thou art, love,
I want no throne to make me blest,
While within thy tender heart, love,
Thou wilt take my heart to rest.

Kings must play a weary part, love,
Thrones must ring with wild alarms,
But the kingdom of my heart, love,
Lies within thy loving arms.
