You Are My Heart's Delight
Lehar & Lohner (1929)

David Hughes, tenor (1968)

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 life divine bid me hope anew

That dreams of mine may by chance 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
Underneath a magic spell have bound me
Yours - yours alone

How wondrous fair is your beautiful hair
Bright lies a summer sky is the light in your eyes
Soft as the turtle dove is the voice of my love

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 life divine bid me hope anew

That dreams of mine may by chance come true
And I shall hear you ever - I love you
