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]
