There was a time when you were mine and my heart knew no pain
But since that time sweetheart I find there's been an awful change
The love I knew has proved untrue and now we're far apart
No matter how you treat me now you'll still be in my heart
I understand your many plans I brought you wealth and pride
With all your gold when love is cold you'll be dis-satisfied
You were untrue because you knew I love you from the start
Though you'll find bliss in another's kiss you'll still be in my heart
[ guitar ]
I can't erase the lovely face no matter how I try
When friends we knew just mention you I hang my head and cry
You turned me down because you found you play the leadin' part
Those lonely years I'll spend in tears you'll still be in my heart
My one request when I lay to rest the future has in store
On that sad day beneath the clay to sleep forever more
Should you be there in deep despair when burning teardrops start
Please don't forget I love you yet you'll still be in my heart
