Youask me why I look so sad onthis bright summer'sday,
Andwhy the tears are in my eyes and Iseem so far away,
Wellsit yourself beside me love, andput yourhand inmine,
And I'lltell you of someone I loved longlong before yourtime,
Wellim sittin here and thinking of thoesdays so long ago,
When I was just a child like you and the girl I used to know,
Through fields of green we laughed and played and sang our merry rhymes,
O we were young and happy then, long, long before your time.
Throughchildhood years our love did bloom, till our hearts were just as one,
And we promised each eternal love in the church below the town,
We settled in this little house I wasproud to call her mine,
Oh we were young and happy then, long, long before your time.
Onelovely year was all we had until the sickness came,
And stole the roses from her cheeks, my tears they fell like rain,
For nine long months she carried you, but in theend she died,
She chose to go so you might live, long long before your time,
So youask me why I look so sad on this bright summer'sday,
And why the tears are in my eyes and I seem so far away,
Its just you seem a lot like her when youreyes look into mine,
And you smile so much like she did, long, long before yourtime
