All these many years I've loved you, no one has ever known
No one has ever known buy you alone
I've kept it locked inside my heart and smiled thru all my tears
My darlin' I have loved you, Oh so many years
Each night within my lonely room, I cried dear over you
And prayed to God that things would trun out right
But when the dawn of day appears, I brush away my tears
My darlin' I have loved you, Oh so many years
I'll go on pretending that my life is all so gay
And happy dear without you by my side
When all alone my heart is longing just to have you near
My darlin' 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 sweet lips will vanish all my fears
My darlin' I have loved you, Oh so many years
