As the time went drifting on
What have I done to change, my darling?
For love was once so strong
You found a new trail, my darling
Made up your mind to travel on
I hope it's smooth and never rocky
I'll dream of you as I drift on
My trail has grown so narrow and rocky
Seems like I just can't go on
Oh, I've been down that lone field backwards
With my dreams of a love so strong
If your new trail's rough and rocky
And you see that you've turned wrong
Think of me so sad and lonely
And our love that drifted on
Many miles they separate us
And alone so sad and blue
I'll be thinking of you, darling
And the love that once we knew
If your new trail's rough and rocky
And you see that you've turned wrong
Think of me so sad and lonely
And our love that now is gone
