Have You Seen Me Happier?

Have you seen me happier,

And have you ever dear-

Then when I see my darling

When it's been 'most a year.



Have you seen me happier,

And have you ever dear?

So happy when I see you

That I may shed a tear!



Have you seen me happier,

And have you ever dear,

That though I've been far gone too long,

That though I sang a dirge for song,

And sometimes traded right for wrong,

Tonight I hold you near.



Have you seen me happier,

And have you ever dear?

That I come home as strong as stone

And erase your every fear.



And have I seen you happier,

Have I ever dear

That though my mem'ries mourn,

And though my soul and sail were torn,

Through darkest night and thickest storm

My love remaines as clear.
