How dear you are to me in my heart

Josephine Lang

I would very much like to tell you

How dear you are to me in my heart,

But now I have nothing to say,

Because saying it is so utterly impossible!

And if I were to sing it every day

How dear you are to me in my heart,

Yet I shall never manage to express it,

Because expressing it is so utterly impossible!

And since it can never be expressed in words,

Because my loving is so infinite,

Then you may ask my eyes

How dear you are to me in my heart!

Therein you shall clearly see

How dear you are to me in my heart,

Therein you shall clearly see

What is impossible for any word to express!
