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 faith will leave us down a path where we will meet again And then we will be free to love anew Then once we kiss from your dear lips Will banish all my fears My darling, I have loved you, oh, so many years
