Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 61
We Never Meet, 'Tis Better So.
Copyright, 1897, by W. J. Lefavour. By Joeeph Dlgnam
We never meet, 'tis better so,
Thy pictured face I still retain;
If thou art changed I will not know,
Forever fair thou shalt remain.
Why to some summer scenes return
When winter wraps the vale in snow,
And over frosted blossoms yearn?
We never meet, 'tis better so,
We never meet, 'tis better so.
Thy pictured face I still retain;
If thou art changed I will not know,
Forever fair thou shalt remain.
We never meet, 'tis better so,
Then thou wilt mark no change to me;
If youthful pulses beat more slow,
The paling cheek thou wilt not see
If ever in our blissful past
Arose a dream of golden glow,
On mem'ry stamp its colors fast.
We never meet, 'tis better so,
We never meet, 'tis better so.
Then thou wilt mark no change in me
If youthful pulses beat more slow,
The paling cheek thou wilt not see
We never meet, 'tis better so,
I hold more dear thy pictured face;
Some time, some time, perchance, to know
Thy truest self shone in each grace.
A drop of dew reflects a star
As truly as a sea we know;
I dream and love thee from afar,
We never meet, 'tis better so,
We never meet, 'tis better so,
I hold more dear thy pictured face,
Some time, some time, perchance to know
Thy truest self shone in each grace.
