If Fortune ever finds us

We will find ourselves in love.

You seem to me, to be carefree.

The woman I’ve dreamed of—

 

A feat of fate and fortune

Was finding you at all.

And if we fell a thousand feet

Then I would break your fall.

 

And I would take your heart, my dear,

If you give it to me,

And put it a box that’s clear

So I can see it beat.

 

I’d take you in my loving arms

And kiss your tender neck.

I’d venture to your lips, my dear

And give the pair a peck.

 

And if you gave your love to me

I’d never do you wrong.

I’d take your health above all else

And keep you e’er from harm.
