O Mary Dear Songtext
von John McCormack

Oh, Mary dear, a cruel fate has parted us
I′ll hide my grief, even though my heart should break
Farewell, my love, may God be always with you
I love you so, I'd die for your dear sake
But you′ll come back to me, my sad heart whispers
You'll come with summer's flowers or winter′s snow
And I′ll be there to wait, if God should spare me
And with the years my love shall deeper, greater grow Oh, Mary dear, the years are long and dreary
And yet you come not back my soul to cheer
My eyes grow dim, my path of life's near ended
When death shall come, in spirit love be near
Remember then my soul′s deep adoration
Shed one sad tear for all the world to see
Breathe one short breath, and I shall know you love me
And still be waiting, Mary, when you come to me
