I Have Something Sweet to Tell You.
I have something sweet to tell you, but the secret you must keep,
And remember, if it isn’t right, “I’m talking in my sleep;”
For I know I am but dreaming,
When I think your love is mine;
And I know they are but seeming,
All the hopes that round me shine.
I have something sweet to tell you, but the secret you must keep,
And remember, if it isn’t right, “I’m talking in my sleep.”
So remember when I tell you what I can not longer keep
We are none of us responsible for what we say in sleep.
My pretty secret’s coming!
Oh! listen with your heart,
And you shall hear it humming;
Be close! ’twill make you start.
I have something sweet to tell you, but the secret you must keep,
And remember if it isn’t right, “I’m talking in my sleep.”
Oh! shut your eyes so earnest, or mine will wildly weep,
I love you! I adore you! but, “I’m talking in my sleep.”
For I know I am but dreaming,
When I think your love is mine;
And I know they are but seeming,
All the hopes that round me shine.
I have something sweet to tell you, but the secret you must keep,
And remember, if it isn’t right, “I’m talking in my sleep.”
