When my eyes did see my love
I just ran into his arms and he held on to me
I just rest my head against his chest
when he finally released me
he whispered his love for me
but at that moment I pushed him away
I was in a frightful state
I knew in my heart I loved him to
how much I needed him in my life
I depended on his love
his goodness and happiness
he was so brilliant in so many ways
I loved him but too afraid to let him stay
Oh, he that has a heart that is a fine frame
must stay in the dark of debt
my poor heart never wanted to let him go
but I know how the old story goes
So I let him go to a better place
I gave up the love of my life
Because I never wanted him to have to take
care of all the pains I held within.
