in the darkest dead of night
Lying down beside each other
Wrapped up in the fireside light
We may never live forever
And this vow they've made together
And in hand, heart to heart
In the blossom of the springtime
In the springtime of their lives
In a little wedding chapel
They became both man and wife
We may never live forever,
And this vow they made together,
through the long hot days of summer
trying hard to make their way
in the coolness of the evening
They would love their cares away
We may never live forever
And this vow they made together
Hand in hand, heart to heart
But she found he had a secret
And the leaves began to fall
If he couldn't live forever
Then she wouldn't live at all
And he cried, you'll find another
But she could not understand
And they buried them together
Heart to heart, hand in hand
Heart to heart, hand in hand
