C5 G5
Travelling the lonely road of sorrow,
C5
Heartaches is all I've ever known;
F5 C5
Time has turned a million pages,
G5 C5
Fate has dealt and I'm alone,
G5
The little stars all twinkle brighter,
C5
The moon shines gaily from the blue;
F5 C5
The flowers seem to spread more beauty,
G5 C5
Oh, so glad 'cause I met you.
G5 C5
But somewhere along life's highway,
G5 C5
From your new love you may part;
C5 F5 C5
And then you'll reap the pains my darling,
G5 C5
That go with a broken heart.
Though you made my life a failure,
I have never been untrue;
And these lonely years I've wasted,
All because my love for you.
You played your game to leave me darling,
Your game I did not understand;
So you dealt the cards against me,
And I played the losing hand.
Chorus:
