Slide 1
Intro. with Title
Slide 2
I've tried to hide my love for you, my darling
Slide 3
I humbly come to crave forgiveness, away with all my selfish pride
Slide 4
Every day has brought fresh thoughts of you, dear
Slide 5
I've tried to be true to other girls, but other girls won't do
Slide 6
I've tried just to hide my anguish, dear, when you have passed me by
Slide 7
I've tried with regret your face to forget, but forget I can't, though I've tried
Slide 8
In lands afar I've wandered, to find fresh thoughts to ease my heart
Slide 9
Your dear face would ever come before me, seeming to say 'We cannot live apart'
Slide 10
The heavens above send forth the glowing sunshine
Slide 11
So without your smiling face to cheer me
Slide 12
I've tried to forget those deep blue eyes
Slide 13
But forget I can't, though I've tried
Slide 14
