Stephen Foster — Molly Do You Love Me?

Molly do you love me? Can the morning beam Love a lowly flowret Living in its gleam? Let one gentle whisper All my doubts destroy — Let my dreamy rapture Turn to waking joy Molly do you love me? Tell me, tell me true! Molly do you love me Love as I love you? Tell me, by these ringlets By those eyes of blue Molly! do you love me Love as I love you? Can that voice’s music Flow from heartless glee? Must I read no feeling In that melody? Molly! do you love me? Tell me, tell me true! Molly! do you love me Love as I love you? Ah! my heart has yielded To those smiles that play With the merry dimples All the live-long day Though the tender blossoms Need the summer light Let our hearts, united Brave affliction’s blight Molly! do you love me? Tell me, tell me true! Molly! do you love me Love as I love you?
