When I Wandered Far From You

Stay with me,
Hold my trembling hands!
And with my failing strength,
I’d give you all my thanks.

The night is dark,
and morning seems so long,
How could I carry on
unless someone comes along?

In the land of shadows,
where I walked,
I forgot all my hopes
’til I heard a song.

I heard your voice
from far away
And hope returned
when I saw your face.

Why did I ever
wander far,
when I have all
right where you are?
