I used to walk with you along the avenue Our hearts were carefree and gay How could I know I'd lose you somewhere along the way? So now I look for you along the avenue And as I wander I pray That someday soon I'll find you Somewhere along the way Here in my heart I'm alone and so lonely Here in my heart I just yearn for you only Here in my arms I long to hold you Hold you so near, ever close to my heart So darling say that you care Take this heart I give gladly Surely you know I need your love so badly Here is my heart, my life and my all, dear Please be mine and stay here in my heart With someone like you, a friend good and true I'd like to leave it all behind And go and find some place that's home to all alone Just a spot to call our own We'll find perfect peace where joy is never ceased Out there beneath the kindly sky We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west And let the rest of the world go by *
