I Will Return To Thee

 

I Will Return To Thee

Written by Scott Wainwright

I asked a girl to marry me

But then I set sail on the deep blue sea

I hope she recalls my bended knee

And knows that her love is here with me

And I shall return, yes I shall return to thee

We were wed in the brightest June

Her dear Mother thought it too soon

But my girls smile is as bright as the moon

Sing with me, my lovers tune

And I shall return, yes I shall return to thee

I gave her a ring of solid gold

And made her a mate for my soul

Her Father mines the blackest coal

And all of my love she has stole

And I shall return, yes I shall return to thee

We shall have children, one, two, three

And I shall love all of thee

And they shall run to me

When I return from the deep blue sea

And I shall return, yes I shall return to thee
