Last night I told my heart's love all under the pale blue sky,
E
eagerly waiting an answer I plainly could read in her eyes.
A D A
I love you, sweetheart, I love, and ask you to be my bride,
E A
her face turned pale and she trembled, and sadly to me she replied
A D A
I cannot be your sweetheart, I cannot stay by your side,
E
one is waiting up yonder, one that's claiming his bride.
A D A
My heart is almost broken, your vows only add to my pain,
E A
I love you, sweetheart, I love you, though we may never meet again.
A D A
We said goodbye in the moonlight, my heart was turned to stone,
E
one blissful hour was made happy, but now I'm sad and lone.
A D A
Amidst my sorrows forever, though you may go far away,
E A
where ever you go I love you, but still I can hear you say
