Cathie Ryan - What Will You Do, Love? lyrics

What will you do, love, when I am going With white sails flowing, the seas beyond? What will you do, love, when waves divide us And friends may chide us for being fond? Though waves divide us, and friends be chiding In faith abiding I'll still be true And I'll pray for you on the stormy ocean In deep devotion, that's what I'll do What would you do, love, if distant tidings Your fond confidings should undermine? And I, abiding 'neath sultry skies Should think other eyes were as bright as thine? Oh say it not, though guilt and shame Were on your name, I would still be true But that heart of yours, should another share it I could not bear it, what would I do? What would you do, love, when home returning With hopes high burning, with wealth for you If my barque which bounded o'er the foreign foam Should be lost near home? What would you do? So you were spared, I'd bless the morrow In want and sorrow, that left me you And I'd welcome you from the wasting billow My heart, your pillow, that's what I'll do
