Wasted Love

Hank Snow · Yodelling Ranger (1936-1947) [Bear Family] [1994]

(Hank Snow)



You said goodbye and left me broken hearted

You little knew the pain 'twould cause to me

Those days we shared, sweetheart can never be forgotten

'Twas wasted love but sweet the memory.



Chorus:

Wasted Love and dreams of you

A broken heart, and oh, so blue

I gave my all, you gave me heartaches

'Twas wasted love, but sweet the memory.



I should have known it from the start, my darling

But loveis blind, and so I did not see

I freely gave to you my only heart and soul, dear

'Twas wasted love but sweet the memory.



Chorus:

Wasted Love and dreams of you

A broken heart, and oh, so blue

I gave my all, you gave me heartaches

'Twas wasted love, but sweet the memory.



I thought some day my dreams would all come true, dear

We'd be together as in the used to be

But it's too late my ev'ry hope must be forgotten

'Twas Wasted Love but sweet the memory.



Chorus:

Wasted Love and dreams of you

A broken heart, and oh, so blue

I gave my all, you gave me heartaches

'Twas wasted love, but sweet the memory...
