COME BACK! (from Two Songs)

COME BACK!
from Two Songs (1903)
Original key : c minor
Words and Music by 
Roger Quitler
Very slowly and softly

I dreamed I heard your voice in the night.
Deep and tender, deep and tender with loving words.

I dream'd I saw your wondrous eyes.
A glow with love and light divine;

"Come back!
Come back! My love.." I cried..
"Come back, come back, my love.
My life...

This is a classical song that written by Roger Quitler. His famous song is 'Love Philosophy'. I think he is a British because when I saw the book that contain his songs, I saw that the titles are in English. 
Usually many classical composers that use English language are from Britain. 
The song is very simple, and the highest note is the 2nd octave of Ab (A flat). I do like this song very much when my teacher gave this song. I want to insert the song here, and the only one I found is on youtube. I'm glad that the one I found is a 'Senior Voice Recital', so it's gonna be great. But the singer is a male, so I think the key is lower than the original key. But it's not... (=____=) Now I think that he's a tenor or maybe a high baritone. I'm a mezzo-sopran and I can sing this song.. Yea~ Hope you like ot just like I do...~

Best Regards,
