We part for ever from today  Farewell beloved one  And I, unto may death, your way   Will shun.  I care not now where you may go   Does leave me.  You can no more bereave me  Today the sweetest girl I know   And the air still moves my curtain  As it used in times of yore...  Moonlight down the lane uncertain   Only you come nevermore  Nor shall I as in former hours  Build spanish castles high  With star-lit windows, and with towers of sky,  Through winter nights uncertain  When, shivering with bitter cold  Your curtain.  I watched lest you perhaps unfold   Beneath that flowering trees  O what delight to stroll with you  When poured its light their branches through,  The moon.    That I might catch with rapturous thrill  And that today I barely still  The words that you let fall  Recall.  How often did I secretly pray   Swift night her sails would furl  That we might thus forever stray   Fair girl.  [Repeat Chorus]
