Best Song Lyric


You’ll Never Know
Darling, I’m so blue without you, I think about you the live-long day.
When you ask me if I’m lonely, then I have only this to say:

You’ll never know just how much I miss you,
You’ll never know just how much I care.
And if I tried,
I still couldn’t hide my love for you,
You ought to know, for haven’t I told you so,
A million or more times?

You went away and my heart went with you,
I speak your name in my ev’ry prayer.
If there is some other way to prove that I love you,
I swear I don’t know how,
You’ll never know if you don’t know now.

You’ll never know just how much I miss you,
You’ll never know just how much I care.
You said goodbye,
Now stars in the sky refuse to shine,
Take it from me, it’s no fun to be alone,
With moonlight and mem’ries.

You went away and my heart went with you,
I speak your name in my ev’ry prayer.
If there is some other way to prove that I love you,
I swear I don’t know how,
You’ll never know if you don’t know now.
