TOGETHER
I wonder if you really send
These dreams of you that come and go!
I like to say, “She thought of me,
And I have known it.” Is it so?
These dreams of you that come and go!
I like to say, “She thought of me,
And I have known it.” Is it so?
Though other friends are by your side,
Yet sometimes it must surely be
They wonder where your thoughts have gone—
Because I have you here with me.
Yet sometimes it must surely be
They wonder where your thoughts have gone—
Because I have you here with me.
And when the busy day is done,
When work is ended, voices cease,
And everyone has said good-night
In fading twilight, then, in peace,
When work is ended, voices cease,
And everyone has said good-night
In fading twilight, then, in peace,
Idly I rest; you come to me,
Your dear love holds me close to you.
If I could see you face to face,
It would not be more sweet and true.
Your dear love holds me close to you.
If I could see you face to face,
It would not be more sweet and true.
And now across the weary miles
Light from my star shines. Is it, dear,
You never really went away—
I said farewell, and—kept you here?
Light from my star shines. Is it, dear,
You never really went away—
I said farewell, and—kept you here?
