American Old Time Song Lyrics: 05 Some One To Love

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 5

SOME ONE TO LOVE.

Oh! yes, I must have some one to love.
While I am doomed the wide earth to rove;
Some one my wandering bark to steer
Over life's waters, dark and drear;
Tho' care assails me, tho' fortune fail me.
And my sad heart with sorrow may bend,
I should not grieve me, if fate would leave me
Something to love, more than a friend.
Oh! yes, I must have some one to love;
Oh! yes, I must have some one to love.

Doth not the sun give life to the flower?
Waken to joy each bird of the bower?
So love can soothe the weariest lot-
A parad:se make of the dreariest spot.
Had I the treasure miser hearts measure,
And yet, alone, were destined to rove,
Wealth would not cheer me, were there not near me
Some one to love, some one to love.
Oh! yes, I must have some one to love;
Oh I yes, I must have some one to love.
