I Love You Sweetheart

She walked to his car from the church house
Where he sat waiting in the night
And her hands trembled on her Bible
As she held on firmly to the right

Oh, you're beggin' me to go out drinkin'
But drinkin' only adds to my pain
I love you sweetheart, I love you
But we won't ever meet again

Oh, I love you sweetheart, I love you
And your tears keep addin' to my pain
I love you sweetheart, I love you
But we won't ever meet again

Oh, my heart is almost broken
And then she let go of his hand
I love you sweetheart, I love you
But we won't ever meet again

You've been in the arms of another
And one who says she is my friend
You've kissed her and held her and loved her
And taken her places that we've been

Oh, my heart is almost broken
And then she let go of his hand
I love you sweetheart, I love you
But we won't ever meet again

Oh, I love you sweetheart, I love you
But drinkin' only adds to my pain
I love you sweetheart, I love you
But we won't ever meet again

Oh, my heart is almost broken
And your tears only add to my pain
I love you sweetheart, I love you
But we won't ever meet again
