For years now I've been living
with an empty aching heart,
tortured by a dream that could not be.
But when I first saw you
I knew right there from the start
That you were the only one for me
An d the love I gave you,
was worth much more than gold.
And I prayed that someday
you would care,
but at last I find that I've
been cast out in the cold
to face a world that is so bleak and bad.
Deep down in my heart
I guess I knew that you would leave
And I swore that I would never cry
But the way it's happened, dear,
I just can't help but grieve,
for at least you could have
said good -bye.
After all, you must have known
my love was just for you,
for that's one thing I
know I could not hide.
An d God above knows how
I prayed you'd learn to love me, too,
but it seems you never even tried.
I wish you luck and happiness
wherever you may go.
My heart will be right with you night and day
And when you feel lonely,
think of the one that loved you so
For that love is with you all the way
Deep down in my heart
I guess I knew that you would leave
And I swore that I would never cry
But the way it's happened, dear,
I just can't help but grieve,
or at least you could have said goodbye.
