The Carter Family - I Never Loved But One lyrics

[Verse 1] Onward to the eastern skies With bluing effort kiss the seas I sigh in place for those blue eyes That have hope and love for me For they obey have stolen away That heart that truly once was mine Like some lone bird without a mate My weary heart is desolate [Chorus] I look around but cannot trace One welcome word or smiling face In gazing crowds I am alone Because I never loved but one [Verse 2] Come up closer to me now Your chestnut hair's been touched with snow But still it is the same dear face I loved so well long years ago The same as on that winter night You bent to me and kissed my brow Happy hours of trusting love Oh well they're all over now And I must sail the whitening foam Until I can see the foreign home Until I forget that lasting face I never can find a resting place [Chorus]
