Lyrics:

I’m longing for you little darling
For you promised that we’d never part
I’ve tried all in vain to forget you
Tho’ for ever you’ll be in my heart
I’d forget ev’ry tear I have shed dear
For you ev’ry day that’s gone by
I’d forgive ev’ry heartache you caused me
And each time that you made me cry.


As shadows of night steal around me
And the pale moon in heaven turns blue
With tears in my eyes I am longing
For the days when our romance was new.
They say you will soon wed another
But darling I’ll wait till the end
And hope that someday you’ll return dear
And start life all over again.


The plans that we made have been broken
A garden, a cottage for two,
Golden curls in a cradle of rosewood
Are dreams that will never come true.
Although you have gone and I’m weary
And life is a failure it seems,
Though sweetheart there’s one consolation
You’ll be mine though it’s only in dreams.
