All I Ever Loved Was You
The Stanley Brothers · Other Songs - The Stanley Brothers
You broke a heart that cried for you
I've wasted all my tears on you
For all I've ever loved was you
Go out and find somebody new
But you'll be sorry if you do
You'll never find a love so true
For all I ever loved was you
Buy her rings and diamonds too
But you'll be sorry if you do
You'll never find a love so true
For all I ever loved was you
All I Ever Loved Was You
