Lyrics

My Love, My Darling, Amen
Music and Lyrics by David J. Hahn

           E
There's no shame in loving you

  A                  C#m
I find that most men do

       A                                       B
But it breaks my heart when your eyes are far away

        E               G#
If this love were up to me

    C#m            A
I'd want to be set free

    E                    B                 E
But thoughts of you swim warmly through my day


        E
So I've left your loving eyes

         A              C#m
Said the last of my goodbyes

   A                             B
In time the thoughts of you will fade

     E                  G#
I've locked my heart up tight

  C#m             A
I try with all my might

   E                  B            E
To forget you and our loving masquerade


   A                      E
My heart will continue to love you

          F#               B
Though my arms are lonely again

   E           G#         C#m      A
As time passes by I'll continue to try

   E        B         E
My love, my darling, amen.


Have you taken another man?
Was this all part of the plan?
Your beauty is a wild and thorny thing

I was always true to you
But now that we're through
I wander and I wait for the spring

[Chorus]

I long for your touch
But I don't miss you much
Time will help me renew

So gather up the dust
That had settled on our trust
And leave it for the cold autumn dew

[Chorus x2]
