We part for ever from today Farewell beloved one
And I, unto may death, your way Will shun.
I care not now where you may go Does leave me.
You can no more bereave me [Chorus:] Today the sweetest
girl I know And the air still moves my curtain As
it used in times of yore..
. Moonlight down the lane uncertain Only you come
nevermore Nor shall I as in former hours Build spanish
castles high With star-lit windows,
and with towers of sky, Through winter nights uncertain
When, shivering with bitter cold Your curtain.
I watched lest you perhaps unfold Beneath that flowering
trees O what delight to stroll with you When poured
its light their branches through,
The moon. [Repeat Chorus] That I might catch with
rapturous thrill And that today I barely still The
words that you let fall Recall.
How often did I secretly pray Swift night her sails
would furl That we might thus forever stray Fair girl. [Repeat Chorus]
