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 bids me hope anew
That dreams of mine may at last 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
And 'neath a magic spell hath bound me
Yours, yours alone
A wondrous air is your beautiful hair
Bright as a summer sky is the night in your eyes
Soft as a sparkling star is the warmth 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 bids me hope anew
That dreams of mine may at last come true
And I shall hear you whisper, "I love you"
DEIN IST MEIN GANZES HERZ
From the German Operetta "Das Land des Lächelns" (1929)

And where you are, I long to be

Your life divine bids me hope anew
That dreams of mine may at last come true
And I shall hear you whisper, "I love you".
In dreams when night is falling

For you have cast a net around me
And 'neath a magic spell hath bound me

Bright as a summer sky is the night in your eyes
Soft as a sparkling star is the warmth 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 bids me hope anew
That dreams of mine may at last come true
And I shall hear you whisper, "I love you"
