American Old Time Song Lyrics: 05 Only To See Thee Darling
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 5
ONLY TO SEE THEE, DARLING
Sung by Wmn. J. Scanlan.
Only to see you, darling,
Only tp hear your voice,
Even its faintest whisper
Would make my heart rejoice.
Vainly I crave the sunshiue
Thy love would e'er impart,
Longing once more to see thee,
Once more before we part.
Chorus.
Only to see you, darling,
Only to hear your voice.
Even its faintest whisper
Would make my heart rejoice.-(Repeat.)
Gone is the sunlit future,
Vision of joy so bright,
Now every gleam has faded,
Vanished in darkest night.
Too late, alas! I knew thee.
Ah I could my poor heart tell,
Breathe out its bitter anguish
In that sad word, farewell.-Chorus.
