i loved you better than you knew

Singer:carter family, the

our hands are clasped

alas

forever

perhaps we'll never meet again

i loved you as i love no other

this parting fills my heart with pain

as through this weary world i wander

my thoughts alone will be of you

in memory i will see you ever

i loved you better than you knew

you ask and freely i'll forgive you

the happy past i must forget

and while i wander alone in silence

i hope that you'll be happy yet

as through this weary world i wander

my thoughts alone will be of you

in memory i will see you ever

i loved you better than you knew

perhaps when i am gone forever

you'll sometimes sit and think of me

and wonder if i'm dead or living

perhaps i'll think the same of you

as through this weary world i wander

my thoughts alone will be of you

in memory i will see you ever

i loved you better than you knew
