  *++Lyrics:|\\
It's been a year since last we met\\
We may never meet again\\
I have struggled to forget\\
But the struggle was in vain.\\
For her voice lives on the breeze\\
Her spirit comes at will,\\
In the midnight on the seas\\
Her bright smile haunts me still.\\
In the midnight on the seas\\
Her bright smile haunts me still.\\
\\
I have sailed a falling sky\\
And I've charted hazard's path;\\
I have seen the storm arise\\
Like a giant in his wrath.\\
Every danger I have known\\
That a reckless life can fill.\\
Though her presence is now flown\\
Her bright smile haunts me still.\\
Though her presence is now flown\\
Her bright smile haunts me still.\\
\\
At the first sweet dawn of light\\
When I gaze upon the deep,\\
Her form still greets my sight\\
While the stars their vils keep.\\
When I close my aching eyes\\
Sweet dreams my memory fill\\
And from sleep when I arise\\
Her bright smile haunts me still.\\
And from sleep when I arise\\
Her bright smile haunts me still.\\
