Lyrics
I Wonder If You Miss Me Verse: ‘Tis just a year ago today we parted, I joined the ranks and went to do or die And tho’ I knew that you were broken hearted You wore a smile until we said goodbye, They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder That distance lends enchantment to the view And often in my idle dreams I ponder And wonder if you think so too. Refrain: I wonder if you miss me just as much as I miss you, I wonder if you’ll wait for me like mother dear will do, I wonder oh I wonder if your heart is just as true, I wonder if you miss me as I miss you. Verse: My heart is just the same as when I left you, Your memory brings back the same old thrill Those little worlds you said “I’ll not forget you” Like sweetest music lingers with me still, Tho’ there are times my heart is sad and weary When ev’rything except the sky is blue One little thought alone can make me cheery To know that I am fighting for you too. Refrain
