Across the Sea, I Come to Thee.
Copyright, 1895, by The Temple Music Co.
Words by Arthur J. Lamb. Music by Geo. Schleiffarth.
Across the sea, I come to thee, my bonny Lou, my sweetheart true,
And this is all my song shall be, I'm sailing home to you;
And ev'ry time the salt winds blow, they whisper of yourself, I know;
And every time the suit waves leap, your name is echoed o'er the deep.
Refrain.
Across the sea, I come to thee, my bonny Lou, my sweetheart true,
And this is all my song shall be, I'm sailing home to you;'
Across the sea, I come to thee, my bonny Lou, my sweetheart true,
And this is all my song shall he, I'm sailing home to you.
Across the sea, I come to thee, by sunset bright, by soft moonlight,
By night, by day, thy face I see, a vision of delight;
And every time I look above, I see the heaven of our love,
And every time I look below, the waves with love's reflection glow.-Ref.
