Peg O' My Heart (1913)

A special love song
words by Alfred Bryan
music by Fred Fischer

Lyrics

1. Oh! my heart's in a whirl, over one little girl
I love her, I love her, yes, I do
Although her heart is far away
I hope to make her mine some day
Every beautiful rose, every violet knows
I love her, I lover her fond and true
And her heart fondly sighs, as I sing to her eyes
Her eyes of blue, sweet eyes of blue, my darling

Refrain:
Peg o' my heart, I love you, we'll never part, I love you
Dear little girl, sweet little girl
Sweeter than the rose of Erin, are your winning smiles endearin'
Peg o' my heart, your glances with Irish art, entrance us
Come, be my own, come, make your home in my heart

2. When your hearts full of fears, and your eyes full of tears
I'll kiss them, I'll kiss them all away
For, like the gold that's in your hair
Is all the love for you I bear
O, believe in me, do, I'm as lonesome as you
I miss you, I miss you all the day
Let the light of love shine from your eyes into mine
And shine for aye, sweetheart for aye, my darling
