I Loved You Better Than You Knew
Our hands are clasped, alas, for- 4 ever
Perhaps we'll 1 never meet a 5 gain
I loved you 1 as I loved no 4 other
This parting 1 fills my 5 heart with 1 pain
Chorus
As through this weary world I wander
My thoughts alone will be of you
In memory I will see you ever
I loved you better than you knew
You ask and freely I'll forgive you
The happy past I must forget
And while I wander alone in silence
I hope that you'll be happy yet
Perhaps when I am gone forever
You'll sometimes sit and think of me
And wonder if I'm dead or living
Perhaps I'll think the same of you
