Volume 98 — SONG SENTIMENTIANA.
Reading edition
(A Delightful "All-the-Year-Round" Resort for the Fashionable Composer.) Example III.—Concerning The Lover's objection to being hard on a Person.
I love you so! I love you so! It's funny, but I do— In spite of what my parents know, And what they say, of you! No honest folks will near you go— But wherefore should I shrink? I only know I love you so, Whatever they may think!
I love you so! I love you so! As I have sung before— Although the heart you have to show Is rotten to the core! They say you oft to prison go; But wherefore my dismay? I only know I love you so! I don't care what they say!
I love you so! I love you so! As I will sing again. (In face of all the bills you owe, It's awfully insane!) What boots it that you are my foe? Should that my passion mar? I only know I love you so!— No matter what you are!
I love you so! I love you so! As still again I'll sing, And sing a thousand times, although You stole my ruby ring! But what care I for suchlike show, So long as I have thee? I love you so! I love you so! That's good enough for Me!
