Although you're far away
And life is sad and grey
I have a scheme, a dream to try
I'm thinking dear of you
And all I meant to do
When we're together, you and I
We'll soon forget our care and pain
And find such lovely things to share again
We'll gather lilacs in the spring again
And walk together down an English lane
Until our hearts have learnt to sing again
When you come home once more
And in the evening by the firelight's glow
You'll hold me close and never let me go
Your eyes will tell me all I want to know
Then you'll come home once more
Then you'll come home once more
And in the evening by the firelight's glow
You'll hold me close and never let me go
Your eyes will tell me all I want to know
Then you'll come home once more
Your eyes will tell me all I want to know
Then you'll come home once more
