You and I

Throughout a summer day

Have walked a sunlit way

Or stopped to play.

You and I,

Wave wandered hand in hand

Throughout a happy land

That we had planned.



I had hoped that our way might end

Where the sky and blue horizon blend.

Yet we've both walked our one last mile.

It's goodbye for a while.



When you shall see flowers that lie on the plain,

Lying there sighing for one touch of rain,

Then you may borrow

Some glimpse of my sorrow,

And you'll understand

How I long for the touch of your hand.



I've loved you so

You'll never know

How through those far ways

And strange star ways

On sea or on land

I will long for the touch of your hand.
