Lyrics I Loved You Better Than You Know - The Carter Family

I Loved You Better Than You Know

Our hands are clasped, alas, forever
Perhaps we’ll never meet again
I loved you as I love no other
This parting fills my heart with pain
As through this weary world I wander
My thoughts alone will be of you
In memory I will see you ever
I loved you better than you knew
You ask and freely I’ll forgive you
The happy past I must forget
And while I wander alone in silence
I hope that you’ll be happy yet
As through this weary world I wander
My thoughts alone will be of you
In memory I will see you ever
I loved you better than you knew
Perhaps when I am gone forever
You’ll sometimes sit and think of me
And wonder if I’m dead or living
Perhaps I’ll think the same of you
As through this weary world I wander
My thoughts alone will be of you
In memory I will see you ever
I loved you better than you knew
