Woorden: Charlotte Church. Tra Bo Dau.

The one I love lives far away
Across the silver sea
And I am longing for the day
When he comes back to me

His smile is lovelier than the dawn
With all its beauty rare
That he should love me so forlorn
Is joy beyond compare

Riches are vain and inconstant
Beauty will wither and wane
But love so pure will aye endure
While our two hearts remain

And now for love of him I pine
How sad it was to part
Where'er he walks seems ground divine
To my poor aching heart

For every day my choice I bless
My love I'll never rue.
His gentle voice his sweet caress
He's constant fair and true

Riches are vain and inconstant
Beauty will wither and wane
But love so pure will aye endure
While our two hearts remain
