If I give my heart to you
Will you handle it with care?
Will you always treat me tenderly?
And in every way be fair?

If I give my heart to you
Will you give me all your love?
Will you swear that you'll be true to me?
By the light that shines above?

And will you sigh with me when I'm sad?
Smile with me when I'm glad?
And always be as you [were] with me tonight?

Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer till you do
When you promise all these things to me
Then I'll give my heart to you

Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer till you do
When you promise all these things to me
Then I'll give my heart to you

Craigslist to beam ads one light year into space

Having trouble unloading your 1980s PC or that rusting bicycle on craigslist?

There's hope yet. Craigslist users will soon be able to reach out to a new universe of potential buyers.

The San Francisco online classified ads site plans to collect millions of ads and beam them into deep space May 15, accompanied by a videotaped greeting from craigslist founder Craig Newmark. ``We believe there could be an infinite market opportunity,'' Newmark quipped in a press release.

Users consent by checking a box next to their listings: ``OK to transmit this posting into outer space.''

Craigslist Chief Executive Jim Buckmaster won an eBay auction over the weekend -- at $1,225 -- for the chance to send a message into outer space. Florida's Deep Space Communications Network -- an audio and video production company -- will transmit the postings at least one light year into space using its existing satellite broadcasting gear.

Rumor has it that Hollywood has already commissioned a TV show about the event -- called ``List in Space.''
