Didn't I Love You, Boy
I thought that it might help
to try and kid myself
and believe this time you'd stay.
Oh, but now I know,
that it's time for you to go.
Guess I knew it
would end one day.
But didn't I love you, boy
Oh I loved you so. Oh
Oh, didn't I though
You don't have to worry now,
'cause I'll get by somehow.
Really, I'll be alright.
And though it might
take a year or two
for me to get over you.
And maybe I'll
cry some tonight.
But didn't I love you, boy
Oh I loved you so. Oh
Oh, didn't I though
You don't have to
Change your mind
'bout leaving me behind.
I know it's just your way.
But if I hope real hard,
and wish on every star,
maybe you'll come back someday.
And if you have a quiet time,
please let me cross your mind
every once in awhile.
'Cause I'll be thinking of you,
and all we used to do.
And I'll remember with a smile.
Just how much I loved you, boy.
Oh, why did you have to go
Didn't I, though
Oh didn't I love you boy
Oh enough to let you go
Oh I loved you so.
