You Are My Heart's Delight

You are my heart's delight
And where you are I long to be!
You make my darkness bright
When like a star you shine on me!
Shine, then my whole life through!
Your light divine bids me hope anew
That dreams of mine may perchance come true
And I shall hear you whisper ‘I love you!'

In dreams when night is falling
I seem to hear you calling!
For you have cast a net around me
And ‘neath a magic spell have bound me
Yours, yours alone!
How wondrous fair is your beautiful hair!
Bright as the summer skies
Is the light in your eyes!
Soft as the turtle dove's
Is the voice of my love!

You are my heart's delight
And where you, I long to be!
You make my darkness bright
When like a star you shine on me!
Shine, then my whole life through!
Your light divine bids me hope anew
That dreams of mine may perchance come true
And I shall hear you murmur ‘I love you!'
