Verse 1

I can’t begin to tell you
How much you mean to me
My world would end if ever we were through
I can’t begin to tell you
How happy I would be
If I could speak my mind like others do
I make such pretty speeches whenever we’re apart
But when you’re near
The words I choose refuse to leave my heart
So take the sweetest phrases the world has ever known
And make believe I’ve said them all to you
Lyrics by Bing Crosby, Song “I Can’t Begin To Tell You”

Verse 2

Here is my heart, guard it well.
– French saying

Verse 3

Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And I will pledge with mine.
– Ben Jonson (1573-1637)
