F 
All these many years I've loved you 
   Bb 
No-one has ever known 
   F                           C 
No-one has ever known but you alone 
     F 
I've kept it locked inside my heart 
    Bb 
And smiled through all my tears 
   F                         C          F 
My darling, I have loved you oh so many years 

     F 
Each night within my lonely room 
  Bb 
I cry dear, over you 
    F                                     C 
And pray to God that things will turn out right 
    F 
But when the dawn of day appears 
  Bb 
I brush away my tears 
   F                         C          F 
My darling, I have loved you oh so many years 

     F                        Bb 
I'll go on pretending that my life is oh so gay 
    F                            C 
And happy dear without you by my side 
     F       
When all the time my heart is 
        Bb 
longing just to have you near 
   F                        C          F 
My darling I have loved you oh so many years 

      F                                   Bb 
Maybe fate will lead us down a path where we will meet again 
    F                             C 
And then we will be free to love anew 
     F     
Then one sweet kiss from your dear lips 
     Bb 
Will banish all my fears 
   F                        C          F 
My darling I have loved you oh so many years
