On the upper half of the label was the HMV symbol, above which was a note indicating that the record was pressed from a Victor recording for sale and use in Canada only. On the right of the centre hole was the word "Concert" and "Record" to the left. Under the title, performer, and Canadian issue number was printed the company name. The hole itself was protected from wear by a brass spindle grommet.

Lyrics for song:
Sweetheart I have grown so lonely,
Living thus away from you,
For I love you only,
Still I wonder if you're true,
I regret the harsh words spoken,
That I know have caused you pain,
And my heart is nearly broken,
Say you love me once again.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
That is why I long for you,
Lonely thro' the nights I ponder,
Wond'ring darling, if you're true,
Distance only lends enchantment,
Tho' the ocean waves divide,
Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
Longing to be near your side.
Has the love that once was dearer,
Than all else to me grown cold,
Or has absence drawn us nearer,
To each other as of old?
Promise then you will not sever,
From the ties that bind us two,
Say you will be mine forever,
Tell me that you are still true.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
That is why I long for you,
Lonely thro' the nights I ponder,
Wond'ring darling, if you're true,
Distance only lends enchantment,
Tho' the ocean waves divide,
Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
Longing to be near your side.
