O Love of mine, where have you gone?
Why aren't you here where you belong?
Why aren't you close to me today?
Why have you left me in this way?
I know the pain of love gone bad;
My heart now longs for what it had.
I'll never know the reason why
You went away and made me cry.
Why can't you hear my heart cry out?
It just can't stop being devout!
It needs you near to feel alive;
Without your love, it can't survive.
Come back to me, dear love of mine;
If you come back, our love will shine.
Don't stay away and cause me pain.
Come back and let us love again.
Mary Lee Desjarden
