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.
