American Old Time Song Lyrics: 11 Thou Art Gone, But Not Forgotten

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 11

Thou Art Gone, But Not Forgotten.
Copyright, 1882, by Wm. J. A. Lieder.

Thou art gone, but not forgotten,
We shall see thy form no more;
Thou hast crossed, the mighty river,
To that bright celestial shore.
We have now a chair that's vacant.
And no smiling face we see;
Thou art gone, but not forgotten,
We will always think of thee.

Chorus.
Thou hast left us broken-hearted,
But from trouble thou art free;
Thou art gone, but not forgotten,
We will always think of thee.

Thou art gone, but not forgotten,
Thou hast left us here to mourn;
From our circle now we miss thee,
We're dejected and forlorn.
We shall keep thy mem'ry sacred,
And shall speak thy praise with glee;
Thou art gone, but not forgotten,
We will always think of thee.-Chorus
