You Seldom Come to See Me Anymore

You Seldom Come to See Me Anymore - Hugo Duncan

What's your hurry can't you stay

And pass an hour away

And we'll sit and dream a while by cand lelight

For when the long days over

That's the time I fear the most

When I hear your footsteps fade into the night

You're restless tell me

Why there's a teardrop in you're eye

And I've seen it there a hundred times before

And I know you're going to leave me

And it always breaks my heart

For you seldom come to see me any more

I well recalled that day

When my ship it sailed away

To a far off distant land across the sea

Where a cruel war was raging

Where time was standing still

And blind hatred was the order of the day

You're restless tell me

Why there's a teardrop in you're eye

And I've seen it there a hundred times before

And I know you're going to leave me

And it always breaks my heart

For you seldom come to see me any more

I know it can't be said

For a soldier's wife to hear

How he helped to keep

His country proud and free

And no bress no fancy ribbons

Can ever ease the pain

When he comes back half the man he used to be

You're restless tell me

Why there's a teardrop in you're eye

And I've seen it there a hundred times before

And I know you're going to leave me

And it always breaks my heart

For you seldom come to see me any more

You seldom come to see me any more
