As time draws near my dearest dear When you and I must part How little you know of grief and woe In my poor aching heart Each night I suffer for your sake The girl I love so dear I wish I was going with you Or you were staying here I wish my breasts were made of glass Wherein you might behold Upon my heart your name lies Wrote in letters made of gold In letters made of gold my love Believe me when I say You arе the one that I'll adore Until my dying day Pray sеnd your love to me A light to me pray send Pray send your love to me A light to me pray send The blackest crow that ever flew Would surely turn white If I ever prove false to you Bright day will turn to night Bright day will turn to night my love The elements will mourn If I ever prove false to you The seas will rage and burn And when you're on some distant shore Think of your absent friend And when the wind blows high and clear A light to me pray send And when the wind blows high and clear Pray send your love to me That I might know by your handwrite How time has gone with thee Pray send your love to me A light to me pray send Pray send your love to me A light to me pray send
