The English words of 'You are my Heart's Delight' were written by Harry Graham for the first London production - starring Tauber - in 1931.
An American translation 'Yours is my Heart Alone' [actually closer to the German original] was also produced around the same time, and used by US singers like Richard Crooks and Charles Kullmann in their 1930s recordings.
I wonder which version Tauber used on Broadway in 1946?
Yours Is My Heart Alone is the correct title.
Popular song in Germany a year earlier.

@HMV163 Although you are indeed correct about the song's original title, it is all over YT as the title I first mentioned. It's
probably not the first time a beautiful Europian lyric has been "Americanized".

I've always liked his voice too, full of character and the text of his introductions so interesting.
