Sometimes between long shadows on the grass
The little truant waves of sunlight pass.
My eyes grow dim with tenderness the while,
Thinking I see thee, Thinking I see thee smile
And sometimes in the twilight gloom apart,
The tall trees whisper, whisper heart to heart.
From your fond lips the eager answers falls,
Thinking I hear thee, Thinking I hear thee call
Only in visions now your face I see.
Only in thoughts, your memory lives with me.
Only in dreams, your wounded soul can heal.
Thinking you love me, thinking you love me still
Three things I’ll ask of you before we part,
One is a corner of your loving heart,
One little kiss and promise to be true.
That’s all I ask love, that’s all I ask of you.
God bless and guide you on life’s weary way,
And may He guide your footsteps, least you stray,
Until we reach that bright eternal shore.
Where we will meet love, meet there to part no more.
