Best Days

I wonder what is keeping my true love tonight
I wonder what is keeping you out of my sight;
It's little you know the pain I endure,
Or you wouldn't stay for only this night, I am sure.
Oh, love, are you coming our cause to advance,
Or love, are you coming for a far better chance,
You know you have my whole life placed by yours in store,
And I just can't bare to think that I'll see you no more.
For, love, I'm coming our cause to advance,
For love, I'm not waiting for a far better chance,
You will always be my sweetheart of that you can be sure,
Now how can they tell me that I kiss you no more.
For sometimes we loved lightly, but more times we loved long,
And when I think about you I know where I belong.
Last night you said you loved me, and it put my world at ease,
Now you're far from me, come home darling please.
Green grass it grows bonny, still waters runs clear.
I am weary and lonesome for the loss of my dear.
You were my first and only true love and lately I knew,
That the fonder I loved you, the closer we grew.
Oh I wonder what is keeping my true love tonight
I wonder what is keeping you out of my sight;
It's little you know oh the pain I endure,
Or you wouldn't stay from me this night, I am sure
Or you wouldn't stay from me this night, I am sure.
