There goes an old love
The keeper of my heart
It seems like a lifetime
Since we've been apart
Her love was a treasure
A poor boy couldn't hold
She wanted riches
Diamonds and gold
She wanted riches
Diamonds and gold
I taught her to love
And she taught me to cry
Then I learned to smile
With a tear in my eye
I offered her true love
As long as I've lived
But she wanted more
Than a poor boy could give
Yes, she wanted more
Than a poor boy could give
She seems to be so happy
In that big house on the hill
She pretends that she don't know me
Oh, but I love her still
Without her love
I've no reason left to live
She wanted more
Than a poor boy could give
Yes, she wanted more
Than a poor boy could give
