My Dearest Dear

lyrics

My dearest dear, the time draws near
When I and you must part
And no one knows the inner grief
Of my poor aching heart
Or what I suffer for your sake,
The one I love so dear
I wish that I could go with you
Or you could tarry here

I wish your chest were made of glass
And in it I might behold
Your name in secret I would write
In letters of bright gold
Your name in secret I would write,
Believe me what I say,
You are the man that I’ll love best
Until my dying day

But when you’re on some distant shore,
Think on your absent friend
And when the wind blows high and clear,
A line or two pray send
And when the wind blows high and clear,
Pray send it, love, to me
That I may know by your hand-write
How time has gone with thee
