When all the world is new;
I know the world can bring no joy
Because it brings not you.
I miss the well-loved voice of you,
Your tender smile for me,
The charm of you, the joy of your
Unfailing sympathy.
The world is full of folks, it’s true,
But there was only one of you.

The crowded city street
Seems but a desert now, I walk
I solitude complete.
I miss your hand beside my own
The light touch of your hand,
The quick gleam in the eyes of you
So sure to understand.
The world is full of folks, it’s true,
But there was only one of you.

When daylight fades away;
I miss the sheltering arms of you
To rest me from the day,
I try to think I see you yet
There where the firelight gleams…
Weary at last, I sleep, and still
I miss you in my dreams.
The world is full of folks, it’s true,
But there was only one of you.
