When you're away dear
How weary the lonesome hours
Sunshine seems grey dear
The fragrance has left the flowers.

Ever I hear you in seeming
Whispering soft love words to me
Ah if I knew it were but dreaming
Never to be.

CHORUS
Then when you’re near me
There's not that I strive to do
Save to endear me
More fondly my love to you.

Never again let us part dear
I’d die without you my own
Hold me again to your heart
I love you alone
Love you my own
