Oh, So Many Years

My darling I have loved you oh so many years
All these many years I've loved you no one has ever known
No one has ever known but me alone
We've kept it locked inside our hearts
And smiled through all those tears
My darling I have loved you oh so many years

Each night within my lonely room I cry dear over you
I pray to God that things will turn out right
And when the dawn of day appears I brush away my tears
My darling I have loved you oh so many years

--- Instrumental ---

Maybe fate will lead us down a path where we will meet again
And then we'll both be free to love anew
Then one sweet kiss from your dear lips will banish all those tears
My darling I have loved you oh so many years

We'll just go on pretending that our life is oh so gay
And happy dear though we're not side by side
When all the time my heart is longing just to have you near
My darling I will love you oh so many years...
