Recorded 1932 [Intro] D A7 D [Verse 1]
D                     A7
Onward to the eastern skies

                            D
With bluing effort kiss the seas

                               A7
I sigh in place for those blue eyes

                            D
That have hope and love for me
[Chorus 1]
    G                          D
For they, oh, they have stole away

    G                         D
The heart that truly once was mine

                              A7
Like some lone bird without a mate

                      D
My weary heart is desolate

  G                      D
I look around but cannot trace

    G                       D
One welcome word or smiling face

                        A7
In gazing crowds, I am alone

                          D
Because I never loved but one
[Interlude] D A7 D A7 D [Verse 2]
D                    A7
Come up closer to me now

                                       D
Your chestnut hair's been touched with snow

                              A7
But still it is the same dear face

                            D
I loved so well long years ago
[Chorus 2]
    G                      D
The same as on that winter night

    G                        D
You bent to me and kissed my brow

                        A7
Happy hours of trusting love

                          D
Oh well, they're all over now

    G                         D
And I must sail the whitening foam

     G                     D
'til I can see the foreign home

                              A7
'til I forget that fair sweet face

                           D
I ne'er can find a resting place
[Outro Chorus]
  G                      D
I look around but cannot trace

    G                       D
One welcome word or smiling face

                        A7
In gazing crowds, I am alone

                          D   G  D
Because I never loved but one
