perhaps
we'll never meet again,

I loved you as I loved no

this
parting fills my heart with pain.

As through this weary world I wander,
E B7
my thoughts alone will be of you.

In memory I will see you ever,

I loved you be.......tter than you knew. + instrumental = CHORUS

2. You asked and freely I'll forgive you,

and
while I wander lone in silence,

I hope that you'll be happy yet. + CHORUS +

3. Perhaps when I am gone forever,
E B7
you'll
sometimes sit and think of me,
E A
and
wonder if I'm dead or living,

E
perhaps
I'll think the same of you. + CHORUS
