Lyrics
- Old time memories cling to me
And they bring to me once again
Golden hours I spent with you
How content with you I was then
But the happy ending never came
Who do you think was to blame?
Chorus
Wasn’t it you who said to me
“My love will be forever”?
Wasn’t it I who said to you
“I will be true forever”?
Beautiful words we spoke them
Wonderful vows who broke them?
Wasn’t it you who made us part
Breaking my heart forever?
- I know that my tears fall in vain
Yearning’s all in vain. You are gone
But that longing to hold you near
To enfold you, dear, lingers on
I suppose what happened had to be
But you can never blame me
