You Pass Me By

(Hank Snow - Eddie Nesbitt)



You pass me by and you don't even stop to say hello

Don't know why I've learned to love you so

Each night it seems I hear you say your love will never die

I wake from dreams you pass me by.



When you are lonely some day you'll learn

Just what it means to live in dreams of love that's unreturned

A love so sweet that vanished with the sunshine in the sky

Each time we meet you pass me by.



--- Instrumental ---



You pass me by and now I know that my hopes are all in vain

Here am I alone on memory lane

I hope and pray that the one you love will never make you cry

Then turn away and pass me by.



I keep your memory locked in my heart

Forever there to help me bear the lonely tears that start

I might have known our love was only meant to be a lie

Oh, heart of stone you pass me by...
