I love you for sentimental reasons

I hope you do believe me

I’ll give you my heart

I love you and you alone were meant for me

Please give your loving heart to me

And say we’ll never part

I think of you every morning

Dream of you every night

Darling, I’m never lonely

Whenever you are in sight

I love you for sentimental reasons

I hope you do believe me

I’ve given you my heart

I love you for sentimental reasons

I hope you do believe me

I’ve given you my heart

I love you for sentimental reasons

I hope you do believe me

I’ll give you my heart

I love you

And you alone were meant for me

Please give your loving heart to me

And say we’ll never part

I think of you every morning

Dream of you every night

Darling I’m never lonely

Whenever you’re in sight

I love you for sentimental reasons

I hope you do believe me

I’ve given you my heart

I think of you every morning

Dream of you every night

Darling I’m never lonely

Whenever you’re in sight

I love you for sentimental reasons

I hope you do believe me

I’ve given you my heart
