If I Give My Heart to You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I give my heart to you
Will you handle it with care?
Will you always treat me tenderly?
And in every way be fair?
If I give my heart to you
Will you give me all your love?
Will you swear that you'll be true to me?
By the light that shines above?

[Bridge]
And will you sigh with me when I'm sad?
Smile with me when I'm glad?
And always be as you are with me tonight?

[Verse 2]
Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer 'til you do
When you promise all these things to me
Then I'll give my heart to you

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer 'til you do
When you promise all these things to me
Then I'll give my heart to you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
