Artist/Band: Kitty Wells
Lyrics for Song: Only One I Ever Loved I Lost
Lyrics for Album: The Golden Years [Rounder] [1987]



When I lost your love dear I lost my everything

The sunshine from my life has disappeared

The night we said our last goodbye I wished you happiness

Then I walked away so darkness would hide my tears.



Without the face of the loved one this world's a lonesome place

True love is smarty cheap at any call

I'm doin' to be a failure though the future brings wealth and fame

For the only one I ever loved I lost.



--- Instrumental ---



If I find fame and fortune what good would get to me

I couldn't fool my heart it knows me best

There's one love in every lifetime mine belongs to you

And that means more to me than all the rest.



Without the face of the loved one this world's a lonesome place

True love is smarty cheap at any call

I'm doin' to be a failure though the future brings wealth and fame

For the only one I ever loved I lost...
