I\u0092’ve not cast my eyes upon her,
\nFor many months and years
\nAnd of joy and of pain,
\nShe has caused me no tears,
\nShe who I loved and yet never did,
\nAs I thought it could never be,
\nShe who I may never see again…
\nI wonder how is she?<\/p>\n
Another in time will hold my heart
\nFor such is life\u0092s way and rule,
\nA heart is bigger for more than one,
\nUnless a mans a fool.
\nAnd looking back I may think,
\nIt foolish how I did dream,
\nOf kisses and caresses from she,
\nHow strange it all may seem…<\/p>\n
And on that day when so am I,
\nContent in love with another,
\nAnd she is another man’s wife,
\nTo another mans children a mother…
\nI will look back fondly,
\nGlad that I for a while
\nThough never loved I got to share
\nThe beauty of her company and smile!<\/p>\n
