No. 8 - Duet - Guy and Winifred
Guy: | Of all the girls I've ever seen In all the climes I've roved, Believe me, dearest, you're the Queen, The only one I loved. |
Winifred: | It may be true, though I've been told That's what men always say, In fairy tales of suitors bold Who love — and ride away. But I think I'd break my heart If we ever had to part, And there's nothing you can ask I wouldn't do. |
Guy: | No, it isn't fair to chaff For I vow, though you may laugh, That I mean them ev'ry word I say to you. |
Both: | Oh, I think I'd break my heart If we ever had to part, And there's nothing you can ask I wouldn't do. For I love but you alone And I want you for my own, 'Cos there's no one in the world like you. |
Winifred: | I wonder if there'll come a day When you will half regret Those whispered words that lovers say But husbands may forget. |
Guy: | How shall I make you understand That I'd lay down my life To clasp in mine your little hand And claim your for my wife, Oh, I think I'd break my heart If we ever had to part, And there's nothing you can ask I wouldn't do. |
Winifred: | Oh, it wasn't fair to chaff And I didn't mean to laugh, For I know that ev'ry word you said was true. |
Both: | Oh, I think I'd break my heart If we ever had to part, And there's nothing you can ask I wouldn't do. For I love but you alone And I want you for my own, 'Cos there's no one in the world like you. |
