LYRICS: "If I Give My Heart To You"

If I give my heart to you
Will you handle it with care
Will you always treat me tenderly
And in every way be fair?

If I give my heart to you
Will you give me all your love
Will you swear that you'll be true to me
By the light that shines above.

And will you sigh with me when I'm sad
Smile with me when I'm glad
And always be as you are with me tonight?

Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer till you do
When you promise all these things to me
Then I'll give my heart to you

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)

Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer till you do
When you promise all these things to me
Then I'll give my heart to you!
