lyrics

It's years since last we met,

And we may not meet again.

I have struggled to forget

But the struggle was in vain.


For your voice lives on the breeze,

And your spirit comes at will,
In the midnight on the seas

Your bright smile haunts me still.

At the first sweet dawn of light,

When I gaze upon the deep,

Your form still greets my sight

While the stars their vigil keep.


When I close my aching eyes

Sweet dreams my senses fill,

And from sleep when I arise

Your bright smile haunts me still.

I have sailed 'neath alien skies,

And I've trod the desert path,

I have seen the storm arise

Like a giant in his wrath.


Every danger I have known

That a reckless life can fill,

Yet, your presence is not flown,

Your bright smile haunts me still.
