American Old Time Song Lyrics: 13 Keep One Little Thought For Me

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 13

Keep One Little Thought for Me.

Farewell, my darling, I must leave you,
Soon with strangers I must roam,
Far o'er the bright and boundless ocean,
Far from those we leave at home;
And when you lay upon your pillow.
From all worldly thoughts so free,
Don't forget there's one that loves you,
Keep one little thought for me.

Chorus.
Years may pass before I greet you,
Far from the land beyond the sea;
Can you think I'll e'er forget you?
Keep one little thought for me,
One little thought for me.

Others will claim you, love, my darling.
When no longer I am near;
Strange lips will whisper their devotion,
Standing close beside you here.
Your happy smiles will then be beaming,
Filling hearts with joyous glee;
Promise that you will not forget, love,
Keep one little thought for me.-Chorus.

When I return again to thee, love,
Shall I find your heart the same?
Will you then whisper sweet to me, love.
Darling, I am glad you came?
Absent from thee I'll be so lonely.
When your face I cannot see;
But I'll hope, if you will only
Keep one little thought for me.-Chorus.
