Little sweetheart, we have parted,
From each other we must go.
Many miles we've separated,
From this world of care and woe.
But that promise of the Savior,
that you may meet in the land,
When you said we'd be together,
Now, this parting gives us sorrow
Oh, it almost breaks my heart
But say, darling, will you love me
when we meet so far apart?
Down among the budded roses,
I have parted from my darling,
never more to meet again.
Will this parting be far over?
Will there be no coming day?
When our hearts will be united
Darling, meet me up in heaven
That's my true and earnest prayer
If you love me here on earth, dear
I am sure you'll love me there
