Day and night I worry over you I'm payin' now for bein' so untrue I pray each night although it seems in vain I know I'll never win your love again I won your love for such a precious jewel You pleaded dear and yet I was so cruel A love so rare cannot be bound and chained I know I'll never win your love again [ steel ] I try so hard to change what cannot be And yet how weak my efforts seem to me In fate's cruel hands forever I'll remain I know I'll never win your love again Within my heart there'll always be a chill Until at last it's beating shall be still My weary soul will find it's journey's end I know I'll never win your love again
