My dearest dear the time draws near When you and I must part And no one knows the inner grief Of my poor aching heart Just to see how I suffered for your sake You are my love so dear I wish your breast was made of glass And in it I’d behold Your name in secret I would write In letters of bright gold Your name in secret I would write Pray believe me when I say That you’re the one that I love best Until my dying day And when you’re on some distant shore Think on your absent friend And when the wind blows high and clear A line or two pray send And when the wind blows high and clear Pray to send it love to me That I shall know by your hand write How times have gone with thee
