When I loved, dear, when I loved
My heart was mended in your hands,
You fixed it up with soothing bands,
That stop the ache I had from
When I loved, dear, when I loved

When I loved, dear, when I loved,
I danced resplendent in the sun,
Eternal life had just begun,
As endless as the waltz of time,
When I loved, dear, when I loved

When I loved, dear, when I loved,
There was a song that rung in the air,
All joy and all love soars up there,
There was angel at my stair,
When I loved, dear, when I loved
