Am 
We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold 
                                E7           Am  
The pastures were green and the meadows were gold 
 
Our love was in flower as summer grew on 
                                 E7           Am 
Her love like the leaves now has withered and gone 
 
The roses have faded, there's frost at my door 
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore 
The grass in the valley is starting to die 
And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry 
 
 F                    C 
Alone and forsaken by fate and by man 
                                 Am  
Oh, Lord, if You hear me, please hold onto my hand 
    E7          Am 
Oh, please understand 
 
Oh, where has she gone to, oh, where can she be 
She may have forsaken some other like me 
She promised to honor, to love and obey 
Each vow was a plaything that she threw away. 
 
The darkness is falling, the sky has turned gray 
A hound in the distance is starting to "BAY" 
I wonder, I wonder - what she's thinking of 
Forsaken, forgotten - without any love.
