I Love You

A tear falls from your face
The trail I still can see
Your eyes, so full of sadness
I long for it to flee

For just as you once said to me
I now say to you
Your sadness, dear, tears me apart
Yet nothing can I do

I long to see your lovely smile
That joy to fill your eyes
I long for you to laugh and play
As if you knew no lies

But that day I fear is long in coming
With our sadness we must live
But I will be here always, dear
Comfort for you I give

Here beside you I will stay
Until all this is through
When darkness falls, remember this
My darling, I love you
