I miss you in the morning
And at the close of day,
I miss you in the spring-time
And along the moon-lit way.
I love you always, always.
Forever and a year;
Come back, come back, to me,
I am so lonely, dear.
Come back and let me rest
In the sunshine of your smile,
Come back and make my life
One perfect, golden while.
