I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart
I love you and you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part
I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling, I'm never lonely
Whenever you are in sight
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart

The evening breeze caress the trees,
Tenderly. 
The trembling trees embrace the breeze, 
Tenderly. 
Then you and I came wandering by, 
And lost in a sigh were we. 
The shore was kissed by sea and mist, 
Tenderly. 
I can't forget how two hearts met, 
Breathlessly.
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside. 
You took my lips, you took my love 
So tenderly.

The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold
Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon i'll hear
Old winter's song
But i miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall
