Webb Pierce - English Sweetheart Lyrics

An american boy met an english girl
Far out across the sea
They laughed and loved and lived each day
Their life was full of glee

They knew someday he must return
To his native family
When it came and the aye was nigh
These words he heard her say

Please don’t leave me here to cry
I watch as sweethearts flee
Seems so hard for us to part
And leave me here to grieve

Though I know you must return
To your native family
Tell me that you love me dear
And will return someday

He kissed her then he said goodbye
He could not bear to see her cry
It filled his heart with pain

She prayed and dreamed of his return
Although it never came
He wed anew in his native land
But inside these words still ring
