We loved across the sea,

Half round the world plate;

It mattered not to me

How near or far my date.

Yet time was marching slow

When I first saw you there

Waving that tiny note—

Your smile was just so, so fair.

Yes, you were there for me

And, more so, there for you.

Your dream-life you set free

For one who sang, “Want you!”

And now we’ve passed a year;

Our love weaves deep and strong.

So dear, you’re so, so dear,

And oh, so l, your song!
