I passed by your window
Language: English
I passed by your window When the morning was red, The dew on the rosebud, The lark overhead, And oh! I sang softly, Though no one could hear, To bid you good morning, Good morning, my dear. I passed by your window In the cool of the night, The lilies were watching So still and so white, And oh! I sang softly, Though no one was near, Good-night and God bless you, God bless you my dear!
