Oh! my darling, how I miss you
As I lonely, sadly roam;
In my heart I'm fondly wishing
I was with you all at home.
Think of me!—I love you dearly!
Let your heart still happy be,
For I nightly pray, "God bless you
Kiss the baby once for me.
CHORUS.
Darling, dearest, don't forget me,
How I long your face to see,
Don't forget my tender message,
Kiss the baby once for me.
When at home you're lonely sitting
And you wish that I was there,
Does your heart feel sad and lonely
When you see a vacant chair
When our little darling Eva
Playful climbs upon your knee,
Take her up and then embrace her—
Kiss the baby once for me.
When at night you pray, my darling.
Don't forget me in your prayer,
And I'll come to make home happy,
I will soon be with you there;
Go to little Eva, sleeping,
Let the angels look and see
How a fond, devoted mother
Kissed the baby once for me.
As I lonely, sadly roam;
In my heart I'm fondly wishing
I was with you all at home.
Think of me!—I love you dearly!
Let your heart still happy be,
For I nightly pray, "God bless you
Kiss the baby once for me.
CHORUS.
Darling, dearest, don't forget me,
How I long your face to see,
Don't forget my tender message,
Kiss the baby once for me.
When at home you're lonely sitting
And you wish that I was there,
Does your heart feel sad and lonely
When you see a vacant chair
When our little darling Eva
Playful climbs upon your knee,
Take her up and then embrace her—
Kiss the baby once for me.
When at night you pray, my darling.
Don't forget me in your prayer,
And I'll come to make home happy,
I will soon be with you there;
Go to little Eva, sleeping,
Let the angels look and see
How a fond, devoted mother
Kissed the baby once for me.
