You Seldom Come To See Me Anymore

What's your hurry, can't you stay and pass an hour away?

And we'll sit and dream a while by candlelight

For when the long day is over, that's the time I fear the most

For I hear your footsteps fade into the night

You're restless, tell me why there's a teardrop in your eye

And I've seen it there a hundred times before

And I know you're gonna leave me, and it always breaks my heart

For you seldom come to see me anymore

I well recall the day when your ship it sailed away

To a far-off distant land across the sea

Where a cruel war was raging, where time was standing still

When blind hatred was the order of the day

You're restless, tell me why there's a teardrop in your eye

And I've seen it there a hundred times before

For I know you're gonna leave me, and it always breaks my heart

For you seldom come to see me anymore

I know it can be sad for a soldier's wife to hear

For he help to keep his country proud and free

When no bronze or fancy ribbons could ever ease the pain

When he comes back half the man he used to be

You're restless, tell me why there's a teardrop in your eye

For I've seen it there a hundred times before

For I know you're gonna leave me, and it always breaks my heart

For you seldom come to see me anymore

You seldom come to see me anymore
