Harry Burleigh
Dearest name that taught my heart
Wildly with young love to beat
All its joys to new life start
Oft as I that name repeat!
When its melody I hear
Swift to thee my longings fly!
Name to me forever dear
Name I'll breathe on life's last sigh!
When I hear its melody
Swift to thee my longings fly
[Wordless vocal solo]
To thee they fly
Name that is ever dear!
Name that is ever dear!
[Wordless vocal solo]
Name I'll breathe last when I die
Oh, when its melody I hear
That name so dear
To thee, to thee my longings fly
[Wordless vocal solo]
Caro Nome was written by Giuseppe Verdi.
