Only One I Ever Loved I Lost
When I lost your love, dear
I lost my everything
The sunshine from my life has disappeared
The night we said our last goodbye
I wished you happiness
Then I walked away
So darkness would hide my tears
Without the face of the loved one
This world's a lonesome place
True love is smarty cheap at any call
I'm doin' to be a failure
Though the future brings wealth and fame
For the only one I ever loved I lost
If I find fame and fortune
What good would get to me
I couldn't fool my heart
It knows me best
There's one love in every lifetime
Mine belongs to you
And that means more to me than all the rest
Without the face of the loved one...
