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 thru 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’ll 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 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 fears My darling I have loved you, oh, so many years
