I Loved You Better Than You Knew

(アルバム： The Carter Family Volume 1 - 1927-1934 - 2002)

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

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

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

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

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

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
