lyrics

Dearest Dear

Oh dearest dear the time draws near when you and I must part
And no one knows the inner grief of my poor aching heart
Just to see how I suffered for your sake
You are my love so dear

I’d rather I could go with you or you could tarry here
I wish my breast was made of glass and in it i’d behold
Your name in secret I would write in letters of bright gold
Your name in secret I would write
Pray believe me when I say
That you're the one that I love best until my dying day

And when you're on some distant shore think on your absent friend
And when the wind blows high and clear a line or two pray send
And when the wind blows high and clear
Pray send it love to me
That I should know by your hand write how times have gone with thee

about

Shelley Short Portland, Oregon

I like to write them, sing
them, and listen - all the way back to a long time ago. I think it’s all worth it, anyway.
