why have my loved ones gone? - stephen foster lyrics
why have my loved ones gone
like the dew ‘neath the early sun?
why am i left alone
while all their troubles here done?
my days of youth have passed away
and the shades of life are near
but i still remain to mourn the happy days
when dear departed friends were here
why have my lov’d ones gone
gone to return no more
calmly gliding o’er a summer sea
whilst i’m left plodding on the shore?
why have my lov’d ones gone
from the joys and the pains of life?
why do i still live on
alone to battle in the strife?
alone to struggle in the fray
till my earthly cares are done;
while the young, the far have vanish’d from the day
before their sorrows had begun
why have my lov’d ones gone
gone to return no more
calmly gliding o’er a summer sea
whilst i’m left plodding on the shore?
why have my lov’d ones gone
while the springtime is on the breeze?
gilding the hill side farm
and breathing music thro the trees!
the birds are singing in the air
and the flow’rs are in their bloom;
all things around are beautiful and fair
but still my spirit lies in gloom
why have my lov’d ones gone
gone to return no more
calmly gliding o’er a summer sea
whilst i’m left plodding on the shore?
