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?
