Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 22
I WILL RETURN AGAIN.
Copyright, 1888, by T. B. Harms & Co.
Words and Music by Samuel Bradbury.
I am leaving thee to wander
Far over the ocean wide;
Oh, say you'll not forget me
Whatever may betide.
Tho' land and sea divides us,
My heart shall ever be
As true as the stars above,
So true I'll be to thee.
Chorus.
Oh, love, say you'll be true
When I'm far away;
Tho' years, love, come and go,
Think of me night and day.
One kiss, love, and good-bye,
Parting may give thee pain;
Faithful to thee, darling, I'll be,
I will return again.
Tho' long years pass, my sweet one,
And cares our path bestrew;
A constant love will brighten
That path for me And you.
Tho' foreign lands I soon may roam,
And other faces see;
My heart will still be true to my love,
Will still be true to thee.-Chorus.
