You are my heart's delight


Explanation:
The English version of the song, from Lehar's "The Land of Smiles", made famous by Richard Tauber, starts: 'You are my heart's delight and where you are I long to be, You make my darkness bright When like a star you shine on me...' - can't remember the rest I'm afraid!
