All these many years I've loved you no-one has ever known,

I've kept it locked inside my heart and smiled through all my tears;

My darl-ing, I have loved you, oh so man-y 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 one sweet kiss from your dear lips will banish all my fears
My darling I have loved you oh so many years

Then one sweet kiss from your dear lips will banish all my fears
