about

As her partner has travelled and disappeared abroad, a young woman years for her departed lover

lyrics

Nothing Can Unsay

Your voice is near me in my dreams,
In accents sweet and low,
With tails of happiness and love,
In days long, long ago.
Word after word I think I hear,
Yet strange it seems to me,
That though I listen to your voice,
Your face I never see.
 face I never see,
Your face I never see,
That though I listen to your voice,
That face I never see.
From night to night my weary heart
Lives on the treasur'd past,
And ev'ry day I fondly say,
You'll come to me at last.
But still I weep, I watch and pray,
As time runs slowly on,
And yet I have no hope of you,
The first, the dearest one.
The first, the sweetest one,
The first, the nearest one,
What I have said, I have said 
   and nothing can unsay
