For if to me her love belonged br I'd sing for joy this day, br And yet I know what're I try br It cannot be this way, br For now I have to spend my life br Admiring from afar, br But still my love shall never fade br And shine like yonder star. br br Please pity me o God above br And spare me of this woe, br For her and I were meant to be br And yet it is not so, br For fate has been so harsh and cruel br And torn my life apart, br It cast my dreams like autumn leaves br And broke my loving heart. br br What waits for me I do not know br Tomorrow could reveal, br The birth of spring and better times br For then my wounds may heal, br While winter bites its bitter cold br Shall chill me to the bone, br For every time I think of her br Reminds me I'm alone.
