Hank Williams Sr. Lyrics
"I Lost the Only Love I Knew"

You ask me why my hearts so sad
And why the teardrops fill my eyes
A heart can't sing that's filled with pain
How can it laugh when it cries.

Chorus:
I saw my dreams all fade and die
Like castles in the blue
Each dawn will bring more tears and pain
I've lost the only love I knew.

Oh, life for me is useless now
It seems so empty and blue
There's no more use to try again
I fail in everything I do.

Chorus:
It's hard to know you'll never have
The one you love so true
While the world's asleep I'll lay and cry
I lost the only love I knew...
