A                               D                   A
    Last night I told my heart's love all under the pale blue sky,
                                 E
    eagerly waiting an answer I plainly could read in her eyes.
       A                                D                 A
    I love you, sweetheart, I love, and ask you to be my bride,
                                                E                  A
    her face turned pale and she trembled, and sadly to me she replied

   A                           D                    A
I cannot be your sweetheart, I cannot stay by your side,
                           E
one is waiting up yonder, one that's claiming his bride.
     A                          D                    A
My heart is almost broken, your vows only add to my pain,
                                            E                  A
I love you, sweetheart, I love you, though we may never meet again.

        A                                 D                   A
    We said goodbye in the moonlight, my heart was turned to stone,
                                           E
    one blissful hour was made happy, but now I'm sad and lone.
      A                                D               A
    Amidst my sorrows forever, though you may go far away,
                                       E                    A
    where ever you go I love you, but still I can hear you say
