Oh childish love, I could not hold I thought true love was a line of gold But you could write a few short lines And tell your love ten thousand times You left me in this world alone Your childish heart I could not win You tore apart our little home But childish love will always end Oh childish love, I could not hold I thought true love was a line of gold But you could write a few short lines And tell your love ten thousand times When you have wed another man I hope he'll give his life to you I hope he'll always treat you kind Just like I did while you were mine Oh childish love, I could not hold I thought true love was a line of gold But you could write a few short lines And tell your love ten thousand times There's just one thing that I have not told Your picture's framed in a ring of gold I'll always wear it on my hand A diamond sealed in a golden band Oh childish love, I could not hold I thought true love was a line of gold But you could write a few short lines And tell your love ten thousand times
