When You're Away 1914 'The Only Girl'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 01 Mar 2004

Though time may let us sometimes forget,
until, with but a sigh,
the mem'ries of a passionate love
turn ashen cold and die.
For me there still can be but you!
Come weal or woe!,
my love is true!
Ah! dear one, if you only knew
my heart when you're away.

When you're away, dear,
how weary the lonesome hours!
Sunshine seems gray, dear!
The fragrance has left the flowers!
Ever I hear you, in seeming,
whispering soft love towards me!
Ah! If I knew 'twere but dreaming!
Ne'er to be!
Then when you're near me,
there's nought that I strive to do,
save to endear me
more fondly my love to you!
Never again let us part, dear!
I die without you, mine own!
Hold me again to your heart!
I love you alone!
Love you mine own!
Love you alone!
