Lyrics
Though time may let us sometimes forget
Until, with but a sigh
The mem’ries of a passionate love
Turn ashen cold and die
For me there still can be but you
Come weal or woe, my love is true
Ah! dear one, if you only knew
My heart, when you’re away
Chorus
When you’re away, dear
How weary the lonesome hours
Sunshine seems gray, dear
The fragrance has left the flowers
Ever I hear you, in seeming
Whispering soft love words to me
Ah! if I knew ’twere but dreaming
Ne’er to be
Then when you’re near me
There’s naught that I strive to do
Save to endear me more fondly, my love, to you
Never again let us part, dear
I die without you, mine own
Hold me again to your heart
I love you alone, love you mine own
Love you alone
