Lyrics
Strange dear, but true dear,
When I'm close to you, dear,
The stars fill up the sky,
So in love, with you am I.
Even without you,
My arms fold about you,
You know Darling why,
So in love, with you am I.
In love with the night mysterious,
The night when you first were there,
In love with my joy delirious,
When I know that you could care.
So taunt me, and hurt me,
Deceive me, desert me,
I'm Yours till I die,
So in love, so in love,
So in love, with you my love,
Am I.
(repeat)
