Tonight sweetheart as I kneel here alone beside you And my tears stain the flowers on your grave In deep regret I think of the heart that I have wounded Of the sorrow and grief and the life that I could have saved Yes tonight darling you were to be my loving bride But all that I have left now as I bow to pray Is your ring a picture the sad message that they sent me And this rose that I am taking from your grave Though she died for a love...
