The Man I Loved
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We had no time
To be together
Each day we had
I tried to hold
We had no time
To be together
This was the man
That I have loved
All the love
All the laughter
Will they ever
Be enough?
refrain:
Why? Oh why?
Why here? Why now?
Why can't I have the man I love?
Don't say
Don't dare to say
I won't see him
One more time
Don't say
That he's gone away
I close my eyes
And I can see him smile
I feel his arms
Around my heart
As they should be
As they are
Why? Oh why?
Why here? Why now?
Why can't I have the man I love?
We had no time
To be together
Each day we had
I tried to hold
We had no time
To be together
He was the man
That I have loved
