I Loved You Better Than You Knew

I Loved You Better Than You Knew - The Carter Family

Written by：Johnny Carroll

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
