When I see these lovers true
Exchanging looks so sweetly
Between themselves and a few
Sweet glances soft and gently
Stealing aside with light feet
Laughing such vows they make
My heart is ready to break
My heart is ready to break
For then they recall to view
The one whom my heart's not free
To leave but rather so true
Longs to draw closer to me:
But the debonair and sweet
Is far and for my grief's sake
My heart is ready to break
My heart is ready to break
Princes no silence for me:
When pairs of lovers I see
That joy in each other take
My heart is ready to break
