Oh So Many Years

Oh these many years I've loved you no one has ever known No one has ever known but you alone I've kept it locked inside my heart and smiled though all my tears My darling I have loved you oh so many years Each night within my lonely world I cried dear over you And prayed to God the things will turn out right But when the dawn of day appears I brush away my tears My darling I have loved you oh so many years I'll just go on pretending that my life is oh so gay And happy dear without you by my side When all the time my heart keeps longing just to have you near My darling I have loved you oh so many years Maybe fate will lead us down a path where we will meet again And then we'll both be free to love anew Then one sweet kiss from your dear lips will vanish all my fear My darling I have loved you oh so many years --- Oh So Many Years - George Hamilton IV
