I stand alone and watch you go
The only love this heart will know
But though it hurts me so
You were mine for awhile

I hear your footsteps die away
And all my dreams will end today
But at least my heart can say
You were mine for awhile

Just for a while
I owned heaven, for a while
So I'll remember you
And my poor lonely heart will smile

And when the leaves of autumn fall
Or in the spring when bluebirds call
I won't be sad, for after all
You were minе for awhile

Just for a while
I owned hеaven, for a while
So I'll remember you
And my poor lonely heart will smile

I always wish the best for you
May your fondest dreams come true
But as for me, I won't be blue
You were mine for awhile
