He walked to his car for the church house

Where he sat waiting in the night

And her hands trembled on her bible

As she held on firmly to the right


Oh, you're beggin' me to go out drinkin'

But drinkin' only adds to my pain

I love you sweetheart, I love you

But we won't ever meet again


Oh, I love you sweetheart, I love you

And your tears keep addin' to my pain

I love you sweetheart, I love you

But we won't ever meet again


Oh, my heart is almost broken

And then she let go of his hand 

I love you sweetheart, I love you

But we won't ever meet again


(Instrumental Interlude)


You've been in the arms of another

And one who says she's my friend

You've kissed her and held her and loved her

And taken her places that we've been


Oh, my heart is almost broken

And then she let go of his hand 

I love you sweetheart, I love you

But we won't ever meet again


Oh, I love you sweetheart, I love you

But drinkin' only adds to my pain

I love you sweetheart, I love you

But we won't ever meet again

Oh, my heart is almost broken

And your tears only add to my pain

I love you sweetheart, I love you

But we won't ever meet again
