The Desert Song, Act II: One alone - Otto Harbach, Richard Tauber

I have heard all you’ve been saying

Yet I will love in my own way

Lonely as a desert breeze

I may wonder where I please

Yet I keep on longing

Just to rest a while

Where a sweetheart’s tender eyes

Take the place of sand and skies

All the World forgotten

In one Woman’s smile

One alone, to be my own

I alone, to know her caresses

One to be, eternally

The one my worshiping soul possesses

At her call, I’d give my all

All my life and all my love enduring

This would be a magic World to me If she were mine alone

One alone, to be my own

I alone, to know her caresses

One to be, eternally

The one my worshiping soul possesses
