Lyrics:
First verse
I'm thinking, darling, of the olden time, When heart was young and merry as a chime; When o'er our future beamed no fatal star That heart to break, that happy dream to mar When life was gay and o'er its fairy spell, The vision of a love we knew as well, Alas! the day and cruel fate that parted Two lives like ours, and let me broken hearted, I'm wond'ring if you ever think of me, If after all your heart the same can be, And if you love me know as once of old, Or if perhaps your love has grown so cold.
Refrain
Perhaps, perhaps if all, my darling, While shadows o'er your path are falling, Perhaps if all you'll think with vain regret, Perhaps, perhaps you never can forget, Perhaps, perhaps you'll think with vain regret, Perhaps you never can forget
Second verse
Perhaps you may have wished me back again, Forget the past and love me just the same; My love for you has never, never altered; Why then, my darling, oh! why have you faltered, For you I'm daily
