Lyrics:
Only to see thee, darling,
Only to hear your voice;
Even its faintest whisper,
Would make my heart rejoice.
Vainly I crave the sunshine
Thy love would e're impart;
Hoping again to hear thee,
Speak from thy loving heart.
chorus:
Only to see thee darling,
Only to hear your voice;
Even its faintest whisper,
Would make my heart rejoice,
Only to see thee darling,
Only to hear your voice;
Even its faintest whisper,
Would make my heart rejoice!
Gone is the sunlit future,
Vision of joy too bright;
Now ev'ry gleam hath faded,
Vanish'd in darkest night.
Too late, alas! I knew thee,
Ah! could my poor heart tell,
Breathe out its bitter anguish
In that last word, farewell!
