Nobody Else But You (1)

This postcard is a color-tinted picture of a soldier and a woman with her arms around him. In the bottom center is a poem entitled "Nobody Else But You (1)". On reverse: "Reproduced by kind permission of B. Feldman & Co., 2,3, and 4 Arthur Street, New Oxford Street, London, W.C., Valentine's Series"; "British Manufacture".

There's something, dearie, that I want to say,
One paring word befoer I go away:
I've tried to think that someone else will do
Instead of you—but that's not true;
I've tried to tell my heart tht I don't care,
But it's no use, dear, for when you're not there
