Verse 1

If you can tell the names of all the stars up in the sky
That are shining like rich gems to Earth's great dome
That delight the weary trav'ler and the watchful sailor's eye
And in safety brings them both back to their home:
Then you know how much I miss you
and regret that parting day
That seems so far away yet always near,
When we both stood mute and silent
Having not one word to say
Only striving hard to hide the falling tear.

CHORUS
I wonder if you're missing me as I miss you,
I wonder if you're wanting me as I want you,
For all the world seems empty since you faded from my view,
I wonder if you're needing me as I need you.

Verse 2

If you can tell the grief that hides behind a smiling face,
When helping other hearts to bear their cross:
When in silent midnight watches or in some secluded place
They find the secret balm for their own loss,
Then you know how much I miss
And how much I want you back
And I wonder if you sometimes feel the same:
But if absence makes us fonder
I shall wait a little longer ,
Till your ship comes sailing home to me again.

Chorus
