I Gave An Oath

Once so long ago
I gave an oath
To my own
That I won’t be alone

That I’ll never be alone
And heart will dweel in love
And faith and hope
Won’t leave me, won’t ever go

But that’s a cruel lie
That makes me now cry

I have no place to go
To feel not so alone
No loving arms to hold
So far lives dear heart I’m longing for

My paradise blue and wide
So far, so high
Sunshine through the pale grey day
Is but a smile to survive another lie

Silent hope comes at night
While I’m walking another dream
Only there I can reach the light
Through dear eyes I’m looking in
While I’m living this sweet sleep

Once so long ago
I gave an oath
To my own
That I won’t be alone

That I’ll never be alone
And heart will dweel in love
And faith and hope
Won’t leave me, won’t ever go
