As I traveled the world over You were just a memory Until I swam in picture postcards From California to Tennessee How you won me over The way you kissed me tenderly You had no rich man's gold to speak of But a song you sang to me I will always love you Even though we're not meant to be Will we ever know the answer Will we ever be With a thousand miles between us You know my life's a shade of blue Will you meet me at the alter Where we'll boldly say I do And if I cannot lay beside you I'd crawl inside this telephone line Where I'll hibernate forever Till I feel your lips on mine
