For thee, Love, for thee

I'll watch o'er thy dreams when thou'rt sleeping,

For thee, love for thee, love,

I'll weep o'er thy cares when thou'rt weeping,

For thee, only thee.

The wild lands of India,

The prairies, the sea

May lure me, but fondly,

I'll still turn to thee.

chorus: For thee, dearest thee

I would roam night and day,

And thy love, and thy love

Would cheer my lone way.

I'll dwell on thy smiles when thou'rt waking,

For thee love, for thee love,

My heart would be faithful though breaking

For thee only thee.

In bowers where we've lingered

Each flowret and tree

Remains in my mem'ry

An emblem of thee:

chorus: For thee, dearest thee

I would roam night and day

And thy love and thy love

Would cheer my lone way.

The lark and the linnet seems singing,

For thee love, for thee love,

The bud into blossom seems springing

For thee only thee.

The bloom on the meadows

The rippling of streams

Recall but thy fair form

The queen of my dreams.

chorus: For thee, dearest thee

I would roam night and day

And thy love and thy love

Would cheer my lone way.
