Whene'er I think of you, my lovely dear,
A smile to my sad face does come along...

I think of you each day I live alone.
How far this gulf between our lives has grown...

I wander down this lonely road in such despair;
It has been so long since I've had one who cared...

My life from Hell comes forth when I see you,
And loosed are all the bonds when I break through...

Though all the world around us fall,
And the voice of death to us doth call...

Through wind and waves and perilous night,
Through dangers risks and hazardous flights...

Why must I struggle and live each day,
Fighting and warring within my mind...

Youth will fail, and time will pass;
health will leave, and age will kill...

Two sides are pulling within my soul,
Fighting and striving to take control...

No thoughts express; no words relate
The love I feel when you are here...

My life is hollow, empty, and vain.
Nothing is worth enduring this pain...

The darkness falls within my soul,
And covers all the light I know...
