C                                      F
All these many years I've loved you no one has ever known
C                             G7
No one has ever known but you alone
     C                                  F
I've kept it locked inside my heart and smiled through all my tears
   C                        G7         C
My darling I have loved you oh so many years

                                   F
Each night within my lonely room I cry dear over you
    C                                     G7
And pray to God that things will turn out right
    C                              F
But when the dawn of day appears I brush away my tears
   C                        G7         C
My darling I have loved you oh so many years

                              F
I'll go on pretending that my life is oh so gay
    C                            G7
And happy dear without you by my side
     C                                F
When all the time my heart is longing just to have you near
   C                        G7         C
My darling I have loved you oh so many years

                                           F
Maybe faith will lead us down a path where we will meet again
    C                               G7
And then we'll both be free to love anew
     C                                       F
Then one sweet kiss from your dear lips will banish all my fears
   C                        G7         C
My darling I have loved you oh so many years
