From Across The Sea Came A Voice

~My heart has but one love

my darling it’s you I speak of~

~Too many years have gone by

many a night alone I’ve silently cried~

~My soul lost deep in the past

of the time we spent together last~

~I love you please understand

without you I am but half a man~

~Now that you and I again could be

brings happiness once had back to me~

~Something I haven’t had in years

the reason for my silent tears~

~You’re all I want my heart and soul

I need you back in my life this I know~

~To stand with me in all that I do

and I to stand with only you~

~You’re on my mind night and day

within my heart you’ve always stayed~

~You mean to me as the world turns

the desire for you inside me burns~

~My darling it burns so hot I cannot bare

at night it’s your image at I do stare~

~You’re as beautiful today as you were then

to you God his hand of grace he has lent~

~I miss you my darling I miss you with all my heart

I can no longer bare this existence of being apart~

~I dreamt of us together once again and awoke

when you weren’t there my heart was broke~

~I made a mistake when I left long ago

and it’s caused me many a year of woe~ 

~The last we met you gifted me with a kiss

like honey were the juices that wet your lips~

~I remember with ease our last night together

a memory of I’ll keep in my heart forever~

~I love you and would do anything for your love

I’ve prayed for it often to my God above~

~Finally I heard you call my name bay

this was a special name only you would say~

~The girl I loved but didn’t have the courage to tell

for this my life has been not but Hell~

~I cannot love another I’ve tried without success

causing me much stress and under duress~

~I’ve been alone now the last seven years

almost given up to die alone I’ve feared~

~But came that beautiful voice from across the sea

a second chance I thought could it be~

~You’re all I’ve ever wanted in life I need you so

let’s take that chance and make a go~

~Let’s make the memories of our past

a reality to be in present at last~

~My dream you are and have always been

with that please accept these kisses I send~

~I love you~
