Could there ever be a day That sorrow will cease and blow away, May it travel to parts to me unknown, That my heart have back a feeling of its own For a while. My heart has never quit its pining, Each thought brings a silver lining, And if you were near ’Twould ease my care For a while. No one knows why I sigh, It’s love in my heart that cannot die, Though now I regret But cannot forget For a while. Now it seems like wasted years To intermix with my bitter tears, Though I’ve prayed to our God above That He may return my only love. For a while. The beautiful stars in their glory Has ceased to tell love’s sweet story, They hide from me behind the clouds; Will some one love me if my head is bowed? For a while. There’s nothing more beautiful than a smile If it’s really meant from the heart. |
