SAVE A SUNNY SMILE FOR ME.
Copyright, 1881. by Walter G. Reeve.
Words by George Cooper. Music by J. P. Skelly.
When afar your footsteps wander,
Will you then your words forget?
Will you leave me but a mem'ry
Of the days when first we met?
Oh, my heart would fondly whisper
In the weary days to be;
Will, you dearest, tell me truly,
Save a sunny smile for me?
Chorus.
Other smiles may beam upon you,
Other hearts may gentle be;
Will you, dearest, promise truly,
Save a sunny smile for me?
When you linger far away, love,
Will you think of me again?
Dreaming of the happy moments.
Moments that so soon must wane.
Will you think of days departed,
When your face no more I see?
Say that you will save forever,
Save a sunny smile for me.-Chorus.
Never doubt the love I bear you,
Though you linger still afar;
Love for you is beaming brightly,
Fair as evening's fairest star.
Clasp my hand in yours so fondly,
Whisper that you'll faithful be;
Say that you will ever save, love,
have a sunny smile for me.-Chorus.
