Sighing For Thee - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
SIGHING FOR THEE. Copyright, 1880, by Firth, Pond & Co Words and Music by Frederick Buckley, 
Lonely I lie 'neath the sad, drooping willow, List'ning to zephyrs gladsome and free; Gazing afar on the wild tossing billow, Sighing for thee, sighing for thee Starlight is streaming o'er forest and mountain, Echoes are lost in the silence of eve; Sweet fairies trip it by streamlet and fountain, Love's tendrils weave, love's tendrils weave. 
Chorus. Lonely I He 'neath the sad, drooping willow, List'ning to zephyrs gladsome and free; Sighing for thee, sighing for thee, Sadly I'm sighing, I'm sighing for thee. 
Lovely wert thou as a seraph immortal, Fleeting thy course as a meteor bright; Angels awaited thee over death's portal, Beaming with light, beaming with light. Life hath no charms for the sad and forsaken, Fondly I turn, yes, I turn to thy home; Hearts that love truly, tho' sundered, shall waken Never to roam, never to roam.-Chorus.
