What did you learn from me, my love

What will you carry from me, my love

What, will you bury

And who will you marry

Are you still going to dream, my love

Does a bird in the hand ever scream, my love

An old man will say "yes" to your letter

For lack of anything better

Will you still hold your head up high

A thousand times ask yourself why

do you still believe in love

It wasn’t love that you knew, it was I

And I believe in you

Will you think fondly of me my dear

Two hearts such as ours never beat near

A young man will say "no" to your letter

For he thinks life only gets better

Love won’t arrive all alone

It’ll bring many friends, you’d sooner not know

Love’s many faces change fast

They bear a great likeness to ghosts from your past

She used to take all of my time

Demanded my love every dime

She’ll drive him to madness some day

Though its not my place to say

For I’ve given the bride away

Will you still hold your head up high

Have you gone to the well is it dry

Do you still believe in love

It wasn’t love that you knew it was I

And I believe in you
