The Dancing Years: My Life Belongs to You - Dunstan Hart, Mary Ellis, Ivor Novello

When first we met I heard a voice within

«The scene is set, and here’s your heroine.»

I raised my eyes, my breath was taken by that sweet surprise.

Your heart was mine, by law divine.

My life belongs to you

My dreams, my song, all that I do.

No moon, no morning star can shine

No happiness is mine without you near me.

When years have passed into the shade

You’ll hear my last serenade.

For ever echoing anew

No matter where you go

Your listening heart will know

My life belongs to you.

And now at last the skies are fine again,

Our tears are passed and you are mine again.

Night after night I dream of capturing this true delight,

Our joys are trite,

Now we are one.

My life belongs to you

My dreams, my song, all that I do.

No moon, no morning star can shine

No happiness is mine without you near me.

When years have passed into the shade

You’ll hear my last serenade.

For ever echoing anew

No matter where you go

Your listening heart will know

My life belongs to you.
