A5
We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
E5 A5
The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
Our love was in flower as summer grew on
E5 A5
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
F5 C5
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
A5
Oh, Lord, if You hear me, please hold onto my hand
E5 A5
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.
Chorus
