BECAUSE I LOVE HIM DEARLY,
Sung by Mrs, Bland, at Vauxhall.
I have a heart, a little heart
That throbs for — 1 know who !
Yet this must say, and mind me pray ?
It is not You, nor Yqu,
O, no, no, no, I tell you so,
'Tis no one here, sincerely ;
And yet I sigh, and all for why— ~
Because I love him dearly.
Yes!
Because I love him dearly !
I have a heart, a little heart,
But not I fear my own ;
3 Twas mine, but now 'tis his, I vow,
But who, shall not, be known.
O, no j no, no, I tell you so,
'Tis no one heie, sincerely,
Yet oft I sigh, and all for why—
Because I love him dearly.
Yes!
Because 1 love him dearly !
I have a heart, a little heart
That's tender, warm, and true !
Then this can say, and mind me pray,.
It throbs, — but not for You.
O, no, no, no, I tell you so,
1 Tis no one here, sincerely ;
And yet I sigh, and all for why—
Because 1 love him dearly .
Yes!
Because I love him dearly !
