The dream of love is over
Today we said goodbye
We parted not in anger
Though tears came in her eyes
'Twas just as fate decreed, dear
That we should never wed
Yet in her heart she loved me
She married wealth instead
One little word could've changed my future life
One little word could've made her my wife
Too late, too late, now my fondest hopes are dead
One little word, that word was never said
Since schooldays we had been sweethearts
She was her father's pride
Her folks lived in a mansion
Our cottage by its side
Though years have brought their changes
The same old love tale told
She wed to please her parents
A man of wealth and gold
One little word could've changed my future life
One little word could've made her my wife
Too late, too late, now my fondest hopes are dead
One little word, that word was never said
