It's ten years since you told me you loved me
but alas you have broken your vow
My head it is bent down with sorrow
and
my heart it is lonely right now.
Then why did you try to deceive me
When you knew in my heart it was true
True to you who are now going to leave
me
I'm parting forever from you.
I'll take back every fond word once spoken
Let it be as we never had met,
And I will return every token
I'll
forgive and I'll try to forget.
Oh do you remember the evening
When the moon through the trees it did shine
With a smile and a kiss as a token
You
promise that you would be mine
I'll give back every fond little token,
First the ring and the lock of your hair
And the card with your picture
upon it
Of the face that is false as it's fair.
I'll take back every fond word once spoken
Let it be as we never had met,
And I will return every token
I'll
forgive and I'll try to forget.
