For these many years, I've loved you,
|
No-one has ever known.
|
No-one has ever known but you alone.
|
We've kept it locked inside our hearts,
|
And smiled through all the tears.
|
My Darlin', I have loved you, oh, so many years.
|
|
Each night, within my lonely room,
|
I cried, dear, over you.
|
I pray, someday, that things will turn out right.
|
And when the dawn of day appears,
|
I brush away the tears.
|
My Darlin', I have loved you, oh, so many years.
|
|
Mayber fate will lead us down a path,
|
Where we will meet again.
|
And we will both be free to love anew.
|
Then one sweet kiss from your dear lips,
|
Will banish all my tears.
|
My Darlin', I have loved you, oh, so many years.
|
|
I'll just go on pretending,
|
My life is, oh, so gay,
|
And happy, dear, without you by my side.
|
When all the time, my heart is longing,
|
Just to have you near.
|
My Darlin', I have loved you, oh, so many years.
|
|
Oh, my Darlin', I have loved you, oh, so many years.
