Lyrics

I feel so terribly alone He should be here To calm the beating of my heart And still the fear The anguish tearing me apart He should have known That by this folly I have thrown away Renounced forever Home and honor and the pride of living This I know to be beyond forgiving Shall we walk in shadows until we die My love and I? What hope for future years? What gifts have I to tender to him? Chill hands and bitter tears These only I surrender to him What have I left to repay him? How can I honor, love, and obey him? My lifeless heart would betray him This I know Too late I know I feel so terribly alone And so afraid A love that cannot be repaid Must swiftly fade Too soon, too soon When eager passion dies away High romance flies away And disenchanted wishes stare Into the future that the wrong we've done Forces us to share How can I bear, how can I bear Such dark despair? I must return to where my duty lies And leave him free This ardent lover who would compromise His life for me How can I ever repay him? How can I honor, love, and obey him? My lifeless heart would betray him This I know At last I know I feel so terribly alone Lost and alone
