Portrait of My Wife (Live)
In vain I try to dry your tears that fall down from my eyes,
It makes me think of the one I love, who in the cold grave lies,
My heart is very sad I vow, one thing cheers my through my life,
The only merit I have left, this portrait of my life.
Roll away those lonely days, roll from up above,
Raise your glass to the one you love,
Roll away those lonely days, roll from up above,
Raise your glass to the one you love.
She gave it with a parting kiss, she gave it with a sigh,
And said dear husband do take this before I say goodbye,
Let me place it round your neck while I've got one breath of life,
I hope you'll never once forget this portrait of your wife.
Roll away those empty days, roll from up above,
Raise your glass to the one you love,
Roll away those empty days, roll from up above,
Raise your glass to the one you love.
I see her in my dreams at night, I think of her by day,
To me she was an angel bright, but now she's far away,
I'll wear her portrait near my heart, I'll treasure it through life,
And with it I will never part this portrait of my wife.
Roll away those hollow days, roll from up above,
Raise your glass to the one you love,
Roll away those hollow days, roll from up above,
Raise your glass to the one you love.
It makes me think of the one I love, who in the cold grave lies,
My heart is very sad I vow, one thing cheers my through my life,
The only merit I have left, this portrait of my life.
Roll away those lonely days, roll from up above,
Raise your glass to the one you love,
Roll away those lonely days, roll from up above,
Raise your glass to the one you love.
She gave it with a parting kiss, she gave it with a sigh,
And said dear husband do take this before I say goodbye,
Let me place it round your neck while I've got one breath of life,
I hope you'll never once forget this portrait of your wife.
Roll away those empty days, roll from up above,
Raise your glass to the one you love,
Roll away those empty days, roll from up above,
Raise your glass to the one you love.
I see her in my dreams at night, I think of her by day,
To me she was an angel bright, but now she's far away,
I'll wear her portrait near my heart, I'll treasure it through life,
And with it I will never part this portrait of my wife.
Roll away those hollow days, roll from up above,
Raise your glass to the one you love,
Roll away those hollow days, roll from up above,
Raise your glass to the one you love.
