I Have Paid

Just a few days before Christmas,
And I'm setting all alone.
All my thoughts are of tomorrow,
Whether or not my hopes be gone.
Just don't forget Oh! how I miss you
And remember "I have Paid".

All the past can't be forgotten,
Through we may roam the world thru.
As I meet many different faces,
None are to resemble you.
Just don't forget me little darling,
And remember "I have Paid".

If the sunshine of tomorrow,
Be as the darkness of these days.
May I meet a misfortune,
And be buried beneath the clay.
Just don't forget that I still love you
And remember "I have Paid".

When we meet up in Heaven,
And we gather around God's Throne.
Won't you say then Oh! My darling,
You did miss me when I was gone?
Just don't forget how we faught the battle
And remember "We Both Paid".
