The stars put on a look of pride,

the river murmured to the sea.

the gentle winds did sigh.

One word broke nature's sweet report,
D

That sad word was goodbye.
D

So tell me that you love me yet,
C

For old departing brings me pain.
D

And tell me that you'll not forget,
D 
For we may never meet

I promised you I would be true
C

As long as I should live

My heart has not forgot its pride,
D

For I  have loved you all the time,

For I  believe you true.
C 
A far or near, let come what will
D

I could love no one but you
