How Could I Ever Be Single Again?

I've travelled together with cold hearted people
Far from my home by the beautiful sea
I've travelled along through all sorrows and dangers
But how could I ever be single again?

So talk to me softly before you must leave me
Talk to me gently but say what you will
I think of you often, glad memories recalling
But how could I ever be single again?

I've lived all alone beneath cold winter's shadow
I've sat near the brook where we used to lay
I'll never get over how suddenly you left me
But how could I ever be single again?

So talk to me tenderly as you are leaving
Talk to me gently but say what you must
I think of you often glad memories recalling
But how could I ever be single again?

So talk to me softly before you must leave me
Talk to me gently but say what you will
I think of you often, glad memories recalling
But how could I ever be single again?
