Lyrics
- I wonder where you are tonight, my love
As all alone I sit and dream
I wonder if your heart’s with me tonight
And if the same stars for you gleam
I sometimes fear there is another love
Some fairer face has won your heart
But Ah, I hope the day will never come
The day that we two must live apart
Chorus
I’m wearing my heart away for you
It cries aloud, “My love be true”
I dream of you by night, I long for you by day
I’m wearing my heart away for you.
- The bees are droning in the wild wood, love
The flowers their tiny heads bow low
The birds are singing soft and plaintively
They miss your dear kind face I know
From o’er the meadow comes a faint perfume
It whispers gently, “Love you’re true”
But Oh, my darling, if you only knew
I’m wearing my heart away for you
