Lyrics
- Sweetheart, I just read a story
Of two lovers in their glory
Started, when their vows were broken
Parted when two words were spoken
Chorus
Just suppose that you and I should part, dear
Would the world be just the same as ever
Would my absence break your lonesome heart, dear
Would you smile as when we were together
Would you soon forget and find another
Just like ev’ry story goes
Tho, I know that it can never be
But only just suppose
- In your eye a tear I see dear
Parted, we can never be dear
Only say you’ll never doubt me
Lonely you would be without me
