We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
 The pastures were green and the meadows were gold
 Our love was in flower as summer grew on
 Our love like the leaves now have 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

 Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
 Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold to my hand
 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

 Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
 Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold to my hand
 Oh, please understand

 (Guitar)

 The darkness has fallen, the sky has turned gray
 The hound in the distance is starting to bay
 I wonder, I wonder what she's thinking of
 Forsaken, forgotten, without any love

 Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
 Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold to my hand
 Oh, please understand

 Alone and forsaken by fate and by man
 Oh Lord, if you hear me, please hold to my hand
 Oh, please understand
 Oh, please understand
 Oh, please understand
