You were fair with gold in your hair
And gold everywhere you turned
I was strong, not one to tag along
Nothing left to lose or even try for
Or to gain
Lovely you
Only you could bear the love and all the pain
And there’s only you
There’s only you
All the while we danced away the hours
Never really quite in time
And all your lies to my unsuspecting smiles
Couldn’t get much further than my heart
And there they die
Fare thee well, oh shield yourself well
I hope the bitter winds don’t chill
Until you’re back I’ll be waiting for you, lass
Nothing left to lose or even try for
Or to gain
Lovely you
Only you could bear the love and all the pain
And there’s only you
Only you
