Sweetheart we have parted
From each other we must go
Many miles they'll separate us
And this world of care and woe
But I can't forget the promise
That you made me in the lane
When you said we'd be together
When the roses bloomed again
Down among the budded roses,
I have parted from my darling,
never more to meet again.
Now this parting gives me sorrow,
and it almost breaks my heart.
will you love me when we meet no more too far?
Our will is parting me forever,
Will there be no coming day,
When our hearts will be united,
And all sorrows pass away.
Darling, meet me up in heaven
That's my true and earnest prayer
If you love me here on earth, dear
Then I'm sure you'll love me there
There our hearts will be united, free from all pain and care,
in the land of life eternal, in that city bright and fair.
