Webb Pierce, Kitty Wells - Oh, So Many Years Lyrics

All these many years I've loved you
No one has ever known,
No one has ever known but you alone.
I've kept it locked inside my heart
And smiled through all my tears,
My darling I have loved you,
Oh so many years.

Each night within my lonely room
I cried dear over you,
And prayed to God that things would turn out right.
But when the dawn of day appears
I brush away my tears,
My darling I have loved you,
Oh so many years.

I'll go on pretending that my life is all so gay,
And happy dear without you by my side,
When all the time my heart is longing
Just to have you near,
My darling I have loved you,
Oh so many years.

Maybe fate will lead us down a path
Where we will meet again,
And then we'll both be free to love anew.
Then one sweet kiss from your dear lips
Will banish all my fears,
My darling I have loved you,
Oh so many years.
