If I give my heart to you,
Se ti do il mio cuore,
Will you handle it with care?
Lo tratterai con cura?
Will you always treat me tenderly?
Mi tratterai sempre teneramente?
And in every way be fair?
E in ogni modo sarai giusto?
If I give my heart to you,
Se ti do il mio cuore,
Will you give me all your love?
Mi darai tutto il tuo amore?
Will you swear that you'll be true to me,
Giurerai che sarai fedele a me,
By the light that shines above?
Alla luce che brilla sopra?
And will you sigh with me when I'm sad?
E sospirerai con me quando sono triste?
Smile with me when I'm glad?
Sorriderai con me quando sono felice?
And always be,
As you are with me, tonight?
Think it over and be sure,
Please don't answer till you do,
When you promise all these things to me,
Then I'll give my heart to you.
Think it over and be sure,
Please don't answer till you do,
When you promise all these things to me,
Then I'll give my heart to you.
