[00:16.24]They stood in the moonlight nearby the gate
[00:20.26]Goodbye, my darling, I know you'll wait
[00:23.85]She ceased her weeping and smiled through tears
[00:28.33]Saying, I've been true, love, through these long years
[00:31.93]

[00:35.97]He was to journey far far away
[00:39.77]He held her closer, his promised bride
[00:44.16]And to her questions these words replied
[00:47.95]
[00:48.19]I've loved you always, yes, I've been true
[00:51.93]My heart shall never be, love, but for you
[00:55.59]Oh, darling, believe me, far over the sea
[00:59.79]Through life or death, so faithful I'll be
[01:03.83]
[01:19.22]One year passed by, he's coming home
[01:23.20]His pilgrimage over, no longer to roam
[01:26.91]And smiling, he thinks of her shining eye
[01:31.20]Shining with welcome, a glad surprise
[01:35.12]
[01:35.36]A dainty letter he takes from his breast
[01:39.21]To which his extended lips were pressed

[01:50.67]
[01:51.29]I've loved you always, yes, I've been true
[01:54.76]My heart shall never be, love, but for you

[02:11.31]But he arrives, alas, alas, it's too late
[02:15.11]The wedding is over, the knot is tied
[02:19.02]He finds his darling another's bride
[02:22.75]
[02:22.94]And later they found him there on the grass
[02:27.03]A pistol nearby, still holding fast
[02:30.63]A crop of letters that explained the deed
[02:34.80]And in the pale moonlight these words did read
[02:38.31]
[02:38.56]I've loved you always, yes, I've been true
[02:42.53]My heart shall never be, love, but for you
[02:46.14]Oh, darling, believe me, far over the sea

They stood in the moonlight nearby the gate
Goodbye, my darling, I know you'll wait
She ceased her weeping and smiled through tears
Saying, I've been true, love, through these long years
For on tomorrow at the break of day
He was to journey far far away
He held her closer, his promised bride
And to her questions these words replied
I've loved you always, yes, I've been true
My heart shall never be, love, but for you
Oh, darling, believe me, far over the sea
Through life or death, so faithful I'll be
One year passed by, he's coming home
His pilgrimage over, no longer to roam
And smiling, he thinks of her shining eye
Shining with welcome, a glad surprise
A dainty letter he takes from his breast
To which his extended lips were pressed
And reading once more by the warming light
The words he had spoken to her that night
I've loved you always, yes, I've been true
My heart shall never be, love, but for you
Oh, darling, believe me, far over the sea
Through life or death, so faithful I'll be
Once more he seeks the old garden gate
But he arrives, alas, alas, it's too late
The wedding is over, the knot is tied
