Noel Coward - "Someday I'll Find You", 1930

When one is lonely, the days are long;
You seem so near
But never appear.
Each night I sing you a lover's song;
Please try to hear, my dear, my dear.

Someday I'll find you,
Moonlight behind you,
True to the dream I am dreaming.
As I draw near you
You'll smile a little smile;
For a little while
We shall stand
Hand in hand.
I'll leave you never,
Love you forever,
All our past sorrow redeeming;
Try to make it true,
Say you love me too,
Someday I'll find you again.

Noel Coward - "Someday I'll Find You"
