THERE are days when the sun shines warm and bright,
When the skies are clear and blue,
When the earth is filled with joy and light,
And hearts are strong and true.
Love, I love thee, and thee only,
Thee and thee alone.
What is sunshine, storm, or rain?
What is sorrow, joy, or pain?
Love is all our own.

There are days when the sun is hid away,
When the clouds conceal the blue,
When the world seems dull and old and gray,
And loving hearts are few.
Love, I love thee, and thee only,
Thee, and thee alone.
What is sunshine, storm, or rain?
What is sorrow, joy, or pain?
Love is all our own.

. . . . . . . . . .

But whether the world be gay and bright,
Or dull and blind with rain,
My heart, in spite of sorrow or joy,
Sings ever the old refrain.
Love, I love thee, and thee only,
Thee, and thee alone.
What is sunshine, storm, or rain?
What is sorrow, joy, or pain?
Love is all our own.
