We met in the springtime
When blossoms unfold
The pastures were green
And the meadows were goldOur love was in flower
As summer grew on
A love like the leaves
Has withered and goneThe roses have faded
Theres frost at my door
The birds in the morning
Dont sing anymoreThe grass in the valley
Has started to die
And out in the darkness
The whippets will cryAlone and forsaken
By fate and by man
Oh Lord, if you hear me
Please hold to my hand
Oh, please understandWhere has she gone to
Oh, where can she be
She may have forsaken
Some other like meShe promised to honor
To love and obey
Each vow was a plaything
That she threw awayThe darkness is falling
The sky has turned gray
A hound in the distance
Is starting to bayI wonder, I wonder
What shes thinkin' of
Forsaken, forgotten
Without any loveAlone and forsaken
By fate and by man
Oh Lord, if you hear me
Please hold to my hand
Oh, please understand
Oh, please understand
