Lyrics:
Oh! when I'm sadly roaming far away,
My heart thy mem'ry still shall keep;
Thy smile will cheer each weary night and day,
While tost upon the lonely deep;
One wish I leave behind, my darling one,
While far away I stray from thee,
Oh! think of one who loves but you alone,
And save the sweetest kiss for me!
chorus:
Oh save the sweetest kiss for me, my love,
As I shall treasure mine for thee,
How sweet to hope when i am far away,
You'll save the sweetest kiss for me.
Thy face will be in all my lonely dreams,
For thee my weary heart will sigh;
To meet my darling in the starry beams,
As oft we met in days gone by;
I'll ne'er forget the sunny smiles of old,
like birds each thought will fly to thee,
Till to my heart my darling girl I fold,
Oh! save the sweetest kiss for me!
