Lyrics

  1. Old time memories cling to me
    And they bring to me once again
    Golden hours I spent with you
    How content with you I was then
    But the happy ending never came
    Who do you think was to blame?

Chorus
Wasn’t it you who said to me
“My love will be forever”?
Wasn’t it I who said to you
“I will be true forever”?
Beautiful words we spoke them
Wonderful vows who broke them?
Wasn’t it you who made us part
Breaking my heart forever?

  1. I know that my tears fall in vain
    Yearning’s all in vain. You are gone
    But that longing to hold you near
    To enfold you, dear, lingers on
    I suppose what happened had to be
    But you can never blame me
