They ask me if I'm sorry that I loved her so

Someone I couldn't ever have and had to let her go

They know I'm broken hearted they've watched me when I cry

They saw a man who bowed his head and once held it so high

Was it birth of the heartaches and the tears I've shed in vain

To build my mansions in the clouds then seen them fall like rain

I only know I loved her and knew I couldn't win

But if I had it to do over I'd do it again

[ fiddle ]

Some people thought me foolish and said our love was wrong

That end our world of make believe we couldn't carry on

But I wouldn't trade the treasure for things just as they were

For any precious moment that I spent with her

She made me feel so happy and she made the world seem right

The only time I really lived was when I held her tight

I could't help but love her I don't think it was a sin

And when I had it to do over I'd do it again
