Supplication
Language: English
Strong arms that held me Within their loving fold, Dear lips that kiss’d me Bringing joys untold Come back again to me, Your eyes with love a-glow For you my heart is aching, I miss you, miss you so! Across the years I call you, The weary years and grey That brought to me no roses, No song to cheer my way, O love of mine, my life, My all, a part we cannot be! No lips can tell how dear you are, how much you are to me! Strong arms that held me Within their loving fold, Dear lips that kiss’d me Bringing joys untold Come back again to me, Your eyes with love a-glow For you my heart is aching, I miss you, miss you so!
