Believe Me - Shirley Temple

Miscellaneous

Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,

Which I gaze on so fondly today

Were to change by tomorrow,

And fleet in my arms

Like fairy gifts fading away,

Thou wouldst still be adored,

As this moment thou art,

Let thy lovliness fade as it will;

And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart

Would entwine itself verdantly still!
