I'M WATCHING
(SONG) Air—"Joys That We've Tasted."
I am watching for thee, love,
Watching for thee,
With a smile on my lips
And a tear in my 'ee.
For I'm smiling to think on
The days of my joy,
So rich in life's gladness,
So little to cloy—

And my love is so earnest
Its deep tones are low;
Like the cadence in music—
Soft, solemn and slow.
And the tears that are swelling
Are love's dews for thee,
So I'm smiling while waiting
With tears in my 'ee.
