Sweetheart, Come_Home to Me. Copyright, 1896, by A. Scull & Co. Words and Music by Will F. McNulty. 
I watched the last sad hour of day As it slowly passed away, The zephyr breeze of a new-born eve Bid good-bye to the close of day; Through the lattice a-peeping Heav'ns bright twinkling star; Gay bells rang their sweetest For one away so far. 
Chorus. Why don't you come? For thee, love, I am waiting; Song birds will sing, a welcome sweet for thee; Why don't you corner My heart is breaking-Sweetheart, my sweetheart, why don't you come to me? 
I watched the morning star to rest As it gently passed away, The silvery spray of a new-born day Spreading its mantle o'er hill And dale; Sweet pretty flowers awak'ning, Covered with heav'ns dew; The long night have they watched in vain, As I have, my sweetheart, for you. - Chorus. 
I watched the noon-day shadow play Along the mountain side, The glittering stream as it glides along, Singing its song to the endless tide. Alone I am waiting thy coming, Thrice welcome you would be; My heart, love, is breaking, Sweetheart, come home to me.- Chorus.
