Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Dearest I’ve loved you in vain
For it’s so plain to see
That you never loved me
Sunshine has turned into rain
And though all my madness
Has turned into sadness
Chorus
Sweetheart if you should stray
A million miles away
I’ll always be in love with you
And though you find more bliss
In someone else’s kiss
I’ll always be in love with you
I can’t do any more
I’ve tried so hard to please
But let me thank you for
Such tender memories
I wish you happiness
As for me, sweetheart, I guess
I’ll always be in love with you
- Sometimes when I’m all alone
I keep wondering who
Is romancing you
How could I ever have known
I’d be broken hearted
And now that we’re parted
