The sweetest songs I ever sing

The sweetest songs I ever sing

Are those I sing to you;

The deepest thoughts that I can bring

Are thoughts I never knew,

Until your soft eyes, questioning,

Had made me question too:

The sweetest songs I ever sing

Are those I sing to you.

My soul lies open to your sight

When all the world's away,

Like that pale flower that at night,

As ancient legends say,

Unfolds beneath the moon's clear light

And dies at dawn of day.

The sweetest songs I ever sing,

I sing to you alway.
