I Hear You Calling Me - Frank Woods (1918)

"I Hear You Calling Me"

Frank Woods

Is this the tenor's real name? It seems he was exclusive to Emerson. He made several Emerson discs, and the titles tend to be sentimental or semi-classical.

Emerson 987

Lyrics by Harold Harford

I hear you calling me.

You called me when the moon
had a veil of light before I went
from you into the night. I came--do
you remember?--back to you for one
last kiss beneath the kind star's light.

I hear you calling me
And oh the weary gladness in your voice
That warmth that's made my longing heart rejoice
You spoke
Do you remember?
All my heart
Still hears that kiss
And music of your voice

I can hear you calling me
Though years have stretched their weary years between
And over your grave the grass has now grown green
I stand
Do you remember?
Resting here
I'm still hearing your voice
Through all the years between
