Answer Me, My Love

by Gerhard Winkler and Fred Rauch; English lyric by Carl Sigman

Answer me Oh my love Just what sin have I been guilty of Tell me how I came to lose your love Please answer me sweetheart

You were mine yesterday I believed that love was here to stay Won't you tell me how I've gone astray Please answer me my love

If you're happier without me I'll try not to care But if you still think about me Please listen to my prayer

You must know that I've been true Won't you say that we can start anew In my sorrow now I turn to you Please answer me my love

If you're happier without me I'll try not to care But if you still think about me Please listen to my prayer

You must know that I've been true Won't you say that we can start anew In my sorrow now I turn to you Please answer me my love Answer me my love
