He walked to his car for the church house
Where he sat waiting in the night
And her hands trembled on her bible
As she held on firmly to the right
Oh, you're beggin' me to go out drinkin'
But drinkin' only adds to my pain
I love you sweetheart, I love you
But we won't ever meet again
Oh, I love you sweetheart, I love you
And your tears keep addin' to my pain
I love you sweetheart, I love you
But we won't ever meet again
Oh, my heart is almost broken
And then she let go of his hand
I love you sweetheart, I love you
But we won't ever meet again
(Instrumental Interlude)
You've been in the arms of another
And one who says she's my friend
You've kissed her and held her and loved her
And taken her places that we've been
Oh, my heart is almost broken
And then she let go of his hand
I love you sweetheart, I love you
But we won't ever meet again
Oh, I love you sweetheart, I love you
But drinkin' only adds to my pain
I love you sweetheart, I love you
But we won't ever meet again
Oh, my heart is almost broken
And your tears only add to my pain
I love you sweetheart, I love you
But we won't ever meet again
