If I could tell you...

If I could tell you
The thoughts I cherish
And all the ways you are dear to me;
A tender feeling
Of love revealing
When e're your smiling face I see;
If I could capture
The blue of heaven,
That wondrous rapture
Within your eyes;
If I could tell you
Of my devotion,
If I could pledge all my love so true--
Then my confession
Would find expression
In all the music my heart sings to you!
