My Dearest Dear lyrics

My dearest dear, the time has come

When you and I must part

And no one knows the inner grief

Of my poor aching heart

Or what I suffer, oh, for your sake

The one I love most dear

I wish that I could go with you

Or you could tarry here

I wish my breast were made of glass

Wherein you might behold

Your name in secret I have writ

In letters of fine gold

Your name in secret, oh, I have writ

Believe me when I say

That you are the one I will adore

Until my dying day

The blackest crow that ever flew

Would surely turn to white

If ever I prove false to you

Bright day would turn to night

Bright day would turn to night, my dear

The elements will mourn

If ever I prove false to you

The seas will rage and burn

So when you’re on some distant shore

Think on your absent friend

And when the wind blows high and clear

Oh, a line or two pray send

And when the wind blows high and clear

Pray send your love to me

That I may know by your hand writ

How time has gone with thee
