Oh, darling, you are leaving for a better man than I could hope to ever be.
I know your love is strong for Him,
And once you've gone with Him
You can no longer be with me.
But remember, darling, how you felt,
And remember I was by your side then.
I knew you, oh, so well.
Yeah, I knew you, oh, so well.
Convent walls can be so high.
Please forgive me, darling, should I cry.
Convent walls can be so high.
Please forgive, darling, should I cry.
Well, every day you'll hear the bells that call you to His service again.
You'll walk forever more and your shadow never have to scream in bed for love again.
And with all your voice you'll adore Him.
Lay yourself down there in humility before Him.
He'll know you, oh, so well.
He'll know you, oh, so well.
Convent walls can be so high.
Please forgive me, darling, should I cry.
Convent walls can be so high.
Please forgive me, now.
Should I cry, should I cry, should I cry?
Should I cry, should I cry, should I cry.
Do you remember, darling, how we felt?
Do you remember I was by your side then?
I knew you, oh, so well.
I knew you, oh, so well.
Yes, I knew you, oh, so well.
Convent walls can be so high.
Please forgive me, darling, should I cry.
Convent walls can be so high.
Please forgive me, darling, should I cry.
Convent walls...
Please forgive me, now.
Should I cry, should I cry, should I cry
Should I cry, should I cry, should I cry
Should I cry, should I cry, oh Lord should I cry?
