Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- When one is lonely the days are long
You seem so near, but never appear
Each night I sing you a lover’s song
Please try to hear, my dear, my dear
Refrain
Someday I’ll find you
Moonlight behind you
True to the dream I am dreaming
As I draw near you
You’ll smile a little smile
For a little while
We shall stand, hand in hand
I’ll leave you never, love you forever
All our past sorrow redeeming
Make it all come true
Make me love you, too
Someday I’ll find you again
- Can’t you remember the fun we had?
Time is so fleet, why shouldn’t we meet?
When you’re away from me, days are sad
Life’s not complete, my sweet, my sweet
