When you're a-way dear,  
-2  -3* -3 -3*  -3   -2    3
how wear-y the lone-some hours, 
-3*  -2*    3   -3*   -2*
sun-shine seems gray dear,  
 3   6    -5    6   -5   3*   -3
the frag-rance has left the flow’rs 
-5 3* -3  4  -3*  -3  4   -3*   
Ev-er I hear you, in seem-ing 
 -3    -1*   2    3    -2   2  -2
Whisp-‘ring soft love words to me  
-6 5* -5  6    -5   -3   -3    3
Ah if I knew t’were but dream-ing  
 4   -5 3
n'er to be 
   
 -3    2    -2     -3  2
Then, when you're near me  
  -2     -3*    -3 -3*  -3   -2 3
there's naught that I strive to do 
-3* -2* 3   -3* -2*
save to en-dear me  
 3    6   -5 6   -5  3* -3
more fond-ly my love to you 
   
-5  3* -3  4  -3* -3  4   -3*
Nev-er a-gain let us part dear,  
-3 -1* 2    3  -2   2   -2
I die with-out you mine own, 
 -6  5* -5  6  -5  -3   -6...
hold me a-gain to your heart,  
-4 -5   2 -2  -2
I love you a-lone 
   
 -3*  4   -5   6 
Love you mine own 
 -5   6 -6... -6
love you a- lone!
