1.
Not from thy lips came forth the sigh
That bears sweet music to the ear;
It beam'd not from thy soul-lit eye,
A flower spoke the words so dear,
"I live for thee" beam'd from its hue,
On wings of fragrance came the spell;
It glitter'd in the dip of dew
That slept within the flow'-ret's cell.

REFRAIN
I live for thee,
I live for thee,
Thee, on-ly thee!

2. I live for-- thee­­ thou beauteous one,
Though joy and sorrow still the same;
My hope­­ the form I gaze upon;
My guiding star­­ thy cherish'd name.
And while upon my couch I sleep,
The treasured gift I seem to see;
My lips shall breathe with ardor deep­­
"I live for thee!­­ I live for thee."

REFRAIN
I live for thee,
I live for thee,
Thee, on-ly thee!
