Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER
I'll put my love to where you lay your eyes
when first they open to the morning skies,
out through the window, look and see,
the light of dawn brings love from me
that's how I'd have you greeted at sunrise.

I'll spread all of my love with morning dew
in hopes you take it where you're going to;
out through the window, look and see,
the morning dew is love from me
and loves the flowers like I'm loving you.

And then I'll put my love to your sunset
so ev'ry evening you will not forget;
out through the window, look and see,
the evening light brings love from me
as surely as it did the day we met.

At night I'll put my love into a star
so you will see my love though I am far
out through the window, look and see,
the star it shines with love from me
until the night I'll be there where you are.
