American Old Time Song Lyrics: 28 I Wonder If There's Someone Who Loves Me

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 28

I WONDER IF THERE'S SOMEONE WHO LOVES ME.
Copyright, 1890, by Willis Woodward & Co.
Words and Music by Paul Dresser.

I wonder if there's one who truly loves me,
And for my presence ever breathes a sigh;
I wonder if perchance I'm ever thought of
By many dear ones whom I've bade good-bye.
I wonder if a heart there is that's longing
My saddened face once more to see
ls there one spot on earth where I am welcome!
I wonder if there's some one who loves me?

Chorus.
I wonder now If at this very moment
Some dear one is wishing now to see
The face of one who roams afar 'mid strangers,
I wonder if there's some one who loves me?

I wonder If of me they speak in anger.
And of my childhood's days some fault will find?
I wonder if amid such chiding some one
Will speak a little word for me that's kind?
I wonder now if some one ever thinks of
The grape-vine swing beneath the tree.
Where oft we swung amid the twilight shadows,
I wonder if that some one still loves me.-Chorus.

I wonder if to-night there is a loved one
Who kneels in prayer with eyes turned to sky.
And silently appeals there for the wand'rer,
And hopes for his returning bye-And-bye?
But stay, there's one I know who'll always love me.
At sight of me she'll bound with joy-
I know that there's a home where I am welcome,
A mother, too, who loves her absent boy.-Chorus.
