You've Gone So Far Away, My Darling

Each Time I Think Of You I Cry

I Press Your Picture To My Bosom

Then I Feel That You're Close By



Years Have Passed You've Not Returned Dear

Now They Say That You Have Died

But Your Soul Will Live Forever

Now I Know You'll Be Close By



I Saw You Last While You Were Leaving

The Tears From You I Tried To Hide

You Took Me In Your Arms And Said Dear

Your Memory I Keep Close By



They Buried You In A Lonely Graveyard

And A Spot They Left Beside

There I'll Sleep 'till Jesus Calls Us

So That We Can Be Close By
