All these many years I've loved you no one has ever known
C G7
No one has ever known but you alone
C F
I've kept it locked inside my heart and smiled through all my tears
C G7 C
My darling I have loved you oh so many years
F
Each night within my lonely room I cry dear over you
C G7
And pray to God that things will turn out right
C F
But when the dawn of day appears I brush away my tears
C G7 C
My darling I have loved you oh so many years
F
I'll go on pretending that my life is oh so gay
C G7
And happy dear without you by my side
C F
When all the time my heart is longing just to have you near
C G7 C
My darling I have loved you oh so many years
F
Maybe faith will lead us down a path where we will meet again
C G7
And then we'll both be free to love anew
C F
Then one sweet kiss from your dear lips will banish all my fears
C G7 C
My darling I have loved you oh so many years
