oh so many years

all these many years i've loved you

no-one has ever known

no-one has ever known but you alone

i've kept it locked inside my heart

and smiled through all my tears

my darling

i have loved you oh so many years

each night within my lonely room

i cry dear

over you

and pray to god that things will turn out right

but when the dawn of day appears

i brush away my tears

my darling

i have loved you oh so many years

i'll go on pretending that my life is oh so gay

and happy dear without you by my side

when all the time my heart is longing just to have you near

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 both be free to love anew

then one sweet kiss from your dear lips

will banish all my fears

my darling i have loved you oh so many years

my darling i have loved you oh so many years
