The Carter Family - I Loved You Better Than You Knew lyrics

[Verse 1] Our hands are clasped, alas, forever Perhaps we'll never meet again I loved you as I love no other This parting fills my heart with pain [Chorus] As through this weary world I wander My thoughts alone will be of you In memory I will see you ever I loved you better than you knew [Verse 2] You ask and freely I'll forgive you The happy past I must forget And while I wander alone in silence I hope that you'll be happy yet [Chorus] [Verse 3] Perhaps when I am gone forever You'll sometimes sit and think of me And wonder if I'm dead or living Perhaps I'll think the same of you [Chorus]
