Half Way ‘Round the World
This vagrant breeze it came from who knows where?
I whisper, Darling, are you really there?
And then your fingers brush my hair
From halfway ‘round the world.
This flower I found upon a lonely vine
It’s velvet touch compares with only thine
And so your lips are pressed to mine
From halfway ‘round the world.
I promise you the joys we knew will still come true again, Dear.
I promise you and heaven, too, I’ll be with you, till then, Dear,
Each night a prayer I’ll send through open space,
In ev’ry dream I dream - behold your face,
Forever, Dear, in your embrace
Though halfway ‘round the world.
(Performed by Martha Mears and the Sons of the Pioneers, March 17, 1944)
