I'll Love Noone But You
The Stanley Brothers · Other Songs - The Stanley Brothers
There's sorrow in my heart
I hate to say goodbye my dear
But it's better that we part
Don't think that I've grown tired of you
Or found somebody new
For you were all I've ever had
And I love no one but you
Now when your read this note my dear
I hope you'll understand
And think of the one that loves you best
This broken hearted man
Now that I have loved and lost
I hope your satisfied
It'll be so hard to go through this world
With a broken heart inside
