Lover's Lane

Here I am just all alone without your love dear .
Will I ever know a love that can remain ?
As I struggle through my life without contentment ,
Can I ever find it here on Lover's Lane ?

I can't sing a loving song with cheerful feeling .
I've not broken any link of our love chain .
I'll forever be required to keep the memory
Of the times we spent right here on Lover's Lane .

Though I know that you're still near , it's not forever .
And this place so seldom sees love's bitter pain .
I still cling to fading hope that you'll remember ,
How you felt when we once loved on Lover's Lane .

I can't see , for I'm still blind in love with you dear ,
How I'll manage if your love I can't regain .
I shall take whatever comes as I'm not sorry
For the moments we spent here on Lover's Lane .

I just hope you take the time you need my darling .
And I hope that you don't dwell on sad refrain .
Just remember all the joy we had together ,
When we held each other close on Lover's Lane .

If it is the last good-bye for our love darling .
And the words you try to use don't make it plain .
Please remember these three words , 'It's lost forever.'
Like the loves so often found on Lover's Lane .
