about

Recorded in 1936.

lyrics

I'd work for you, I'd slave for you,
I'd be a beggar or a knave for you.
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along.

I'd gladly move the earth for you,
To prove my love, dear, and its worth for you.
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along.

With all the words, dear, at my command,
I just can't make you understand.
I'll always love you darling, come what may.
My heart is yours, what more can I say?

I'd sigh for you, I'd cry for you,
I'd tear the stars down from the sky for you.
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along.
