Oh So Many Years
Composer(s): Frankie Bailes
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers;

All these many years I've loved you
no one has ever known
No one has ever known but you alone
I've kept it locked inside my heart
and smiled through all my tears
My darling I have loved you
Oh so many years

Each night within my lonely room
I cried dear over you
and prayed to God that things would turn out right
But when the dawn of day appears
I brush away my tears
My darling I have loved you
Oh so many years

I'll go on pretending that my life is all so gay
and happy dear without you by my side
When all the time my heart is longing
just to have you near
My darling I have loved you
Oh so many years

Maybe fate will lead us down a path
where we will meet again
and then we'll both be free to love anew
Then one sweet kiss from your dear lips
will banish all my fears
My darling I have loved you
Oh so many years
