Dinna ye know, Tommy, that ye're all I'm livin' for?
|
So how can ye go, Tommy, when I'll need ye more an' more?
|
Tommy
|
No, Fiona. You won't remember that way. And neither will I.
|
You and the world we knew will glow, till my life is through;
|
For you're part of me from this day on.
|
And someday if I should love, it's you I'll be dreaming of,
|
For you're all I'll see from this day on.
|
These hurried hours were all the life we could share.
|
Still, I will go with not a tear, just a prayer
|
That when we are far apart, you'll find something from your heart
|
Has gone! Gone with me from this day on.
|
You see? We mustn't be sorry about anything.
|
|
Fiona
|
I'm not. In fact, I shouldna be surprised if I'll be less lonely now than I
|
was afore ye came. I think real loneliness is no' bein' in love in vain,
|
but no' bein' in love at all.
|
|
Tommy
|
But it'll fade in time.
|
|
Fiona
|
No. It winna do that.
|
Through all the years to come, an' through all the tears to come,
|
I know I'll be yours from this day on.
