Have I the right to love you?
When we are worlds apart
To see you stand before me
Offering me your heart

What if I should hurt you?
And maybe see a tear
Oh, how that would haunt me
My very precious dear

Have we the right to marry?
And try to taste it all
Should we darling, should we?
But what if we should fall?

As I gaze into your eyes
So true, so fine, so blue
I know that I am willing
To chance it dear, with you
