[Verse]
What will you do, Dlove, when CI am goGing
With white sails CflowGing, the Amseas beGyond?
What will you Cdo, Dlove, when Cwaves divide Gus
And friends they Cchide Gus for Ambeing Gfond?
[Verse]
Though Dwaves diCvide Gus, and friends be CchidAming
In D7faith aGbiding, I'll Cstill be Dtrue
And I'll Gpray for Cyou Don the Cstormy oGcean
In Ddeep deCvoGtion, that's Amwhat I'll Gdo
[Verse]
What would you Cdo, Dlove, if Cdistant tidGings
Your fond conCfidGings should AmunderGmine?
And I, aCbidDing 'neath Csultry skiGes
Should think other Ceyes Gwere as Ambright as Gthine?
[Verse]
Oh, Dsay it CnotG__, though guilt and CshAmame
Were D7on your Gname, I would Cstill be Dtrue
But that Gheart of Cyours, Dshould aCnother share Git
I Dcould not Cbear Git, what Amwould I Gdo?
[Verse]
What would you Cdo, Dlove, when Chome returnGing
With hopes high CburnGing, with Amwealth for Gyou
If my barque which CbounDded o'er the Cforeign foGam
Should be lost near ChomGe__? What Amwould you Gdo?
[Verse]
So Dyou were CspaGred, I'd bless the CmorAmrow
In D7want and Gsorrow, that Cleft me Dyou
And I'd Gwelcome Cyou Dfrom the Cwasting bilGlow
My Dheart, your CpilGlow, that's Amwhat I'll Gdo
