The Reluctant Farewell of a New Bride You’re my lighthouse in waters unsure. I hate when you leave me, my dear. Oh, please won’t you kiss me once more? I embrace you in front of the door— Something horrid might happen, I fear, To my lighthouse in waters unsure! Your eyes cradle sky-pieces pure… How other men recklessly steer! Oh, please! Won’t you kiss me once more? My mind and my heartstrings wage war While your comforting comments I hear. You’re my lighthouse in waters unsure. Will you come back the same as before? On your sleeve rests the stain of my tear. Oh, please won’t you kiss me once more? Yes, it’s just to the grocery store, But Love, wait ‘til the weather is clear! You’re my lighthouse in waters unsure. Oh, please won’t you kiss me once more?
