Absent.
Sometimes between long shadows on the grass
The little truant waves of sunlight pass
My eyes grow dim with tenderness the while
Thinking I see thee smile.
And sometimes in the twilight gloom apart
The tall trees whisper heart whisper heart to heart
Thinking I hear thee call.
Because.
Because you come to me with naught save love
And hold my hand and lift mine eyes above
A wider world of hope & joy I see
Because you come to me.
Because you speak to me in accents sweet
I find the roses waking round my feet
And I am led through tears & joy to thee
Because you speak to me.
Because God made thee mine I'll cherish thee
Through light & darkness & all time to be
And pray his love may make our love divine
Because God made thee mine.
God send you back to me.
Love you have left me weary and lonely.
Sailing so far away
Ah how I miss you- daily I'm praying
Safely you'll come home someday.
Though we are parted- love lives for ever
When hearts are fond and true.
So, till our meeting, let us remember
Ever I pray for you.
God send you back to me.
Over the mighty sea
Dearest I want you near
God dwells above one you
Knows how I love you
He will bring you back to me
