Close By |
| You’ve gone so far away, my darling |
| Each time I think of you I cry |
| I press your picture to my bosom |
| Then I feel that you’re close by |
| Years have passed you’ve not returned dear |
| Now they say that you have died |
| But your soul will live forever |
| Now I know you’ll be close by |
| I saw you last while you were leaving |
| The tears from you I tried to hide |
| You took me in your arms and said dear |
| Your memory I keep close by |
| They buried you in a lonely graveyard |
| And a spot they left beside |
| There I’ll sleep 'till Jesus calls us |
| So that we can be close by |
