I once had a love, and oh I loved her very dearly She told me she loved me so I thought she spoke sincerely But one day, away I found that she had flown And off to find that love of mine I set alone Looking high, high, high Looking low, low, low Wondering: "Why, why, why Did she go, go, go?" For if I, I, I Don't find my love, I know I shall die, die, die 'Cause I love her so I journeyed across the sea I sought her with devotion "Oh, where she could really be? I've not the slightest notion" But so bright the light Of love within me shone I knew full well, what ever befell I must go on Looking high, high, high Looking low, low, low Wondering: "Why, why, why Did she go, go, go?" For if I, I, I Don't find my love, I know I shall die, die, die 'Cause I love her so Due east over desert sands Due west where grass is greener I asked in a dozen lands But none had ever seen her It was clear, I fear My quest was all in vain So I departed, sad at heart For home again Looking high, high, high Looking low, low, low Wondering: "Why, why, why Did she go, go, go?" For if I, I, I Don't find my love, I know I shall die, die, die 'Cause I love her so But when I arrived, all brown And tanned by wind and weather You sure could have knocked me down With the proverbial feather She stood there, so fair And sweetly she confessed That she'd been wrong, and all along She'd loved me best I'd looked high, high, high I'd looked low, low, low Wondering: "Why, why, why Did she go, go, go?" Now that I, I, I Have found my love, I know Till I die, die, die I will love her so (Looking high, high, high) (Looking low, low, low) (Wondering: "Why, why, why) (Did she go, go, go?") For if I, I, I Don't find my love, I know I shall die, die, die 'Cause I love her so (Looking high, high, high)
