To my friend across the ocean
Who I have never seen
I doubt you’ll ever read this
But know each word I mean
Though I’ve never seen your face
Or heard you speak a single word
I know nothing could ever replace
Either of them and be preferred
Your voice must be music to ones ears
With a perfect face and smile
To see and hear you I’ll wait all my years
So my love can surpass these endless miles.
But I know that this is but a wishful dream
For even if I cross this dividing sea
To tell how I feel your heart is locked
And alas, I am not worthy of its key
Who I have never seen
I doubt you’ll ever read this
But know each word I mean
Though I’ve never seen your face
Or heard you speak a single word
I know nothing could ever replace
Either of them and be preferred
Your voice must be music to ones ears
With a perfect face and smile
To see and hear you I’ll wait all my years
So my love can surpass these endless miles.
But I know that this is but a wishful dream
For even if I cross this dividing sea
To tell how I feel your heart is locked
And alas, I am not worthy of its key
