We met in the
springtime when
blossoms unfold
The pastures were green
and the meadows
were gold
Our love was in flower
as summer grew on
Her love like the leaves
now has withered
and gone
The roses have faded
there's frost at my door
The birds in
the morning
don't sing anymore
The grass in the valley
is starting to die
And out in the darkness
the whippoorwills cry
Alone and forsaken
by fate and by man
Oh Lord if you hear me
please hold to my hand
Oh please understand
Oh where has she
gone to oh where
can she be
She may have forsaken
some other like me
She promised to honor
to love and obey
Each vow was
a plaything that
she threw away
The darkness is falling
the sky has turned gray
A hound in the distance
is starting to bay
I wonder I wonder
what she's thinking of
Forsaken forgotten
without any love
Alone and forsaken
by fate and by man
Oh Lord if you hear me
please hold to my hand
Oh please understand
