When You're Away

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

Oh, if I knew it were but dreaming

Never to be

Then when you're near me

There's nothing I wouldn't do

Just to endear me more fondly

My love to you

Never again, let us part, dear

I die without you, my own

Hold me again to your heart

I love you alone

Never, never again, let us part, dear

I die without you, my own

Hold me again to your heart

I love you alone
