Whene'er I think of you, my lovely dear,
A smile to my sad face does come along
And brings with it great hope and love and cheer.
It puts within my heart a beautiful song.
No man on earth no angel in heav'n can express
The joy that comes when one but says your name.
Tis love that makes my heart to fill with bliss,
For you my dear shall be fore'er to me the same.
If life should e'er get me down so low
That I would think again of ending my life,
Then I will think of you, and I will know
That though this life is full of pain and strife,
You, my dear, will always be the one I love;
Nothing from here can my position ever move.
