Till You Return
(Bob Nolan)
Till you return, no bird may sing
Nor word of song its message bring.
Oh, lonely hours of absence and empty arms
I must endure till you return.
Till you return, no star may shine,
Nor smile, caress to equal thine.
Oh, prayer of parting, tell me what must I do?
Or break my heart till you return.
When will I hear your sweet voice and then
When will I thrill to your touch again?
Till you return, I promise, dear,
Though birds won’t sing nor stars appear,
My heart on wings will find you each lonely day
And watch o’er you till you return.
When will I hear your sweet voice and then
When will I thrill to your touch again?
Till you return, I promise, dear,
Though birds won’t sing nor stars appear,
My heart on wings will find you each lonely day
And watch o’er you till you return.
