Don't Ever Love Me

While in that gay tropic isle I first saw that maiden smile Though I had failed in the past I said, "This is true love at last" But then she whispered to me That our love never could be Destiny, oh, when will I see the day? Hopelessly, I've wandered so long this way "This could never be", she said pleadingly "Don't ever love me, I'm just fancy-free" "This could never be", she said pleadingly "Don't ever love me" My love was motion and grace The moonlight soft on her face I held her close in my arms My heart was quick to her charms But then I saw in her glance It was just an evening's romance Destiny, oh, when will I see the day? Hopelessly, I've wandered so long this way "This could never be", she said pleadingly "Don't ever love me, I'm just fancy-free" "This could never be", she said pleadingly "Don't ever love me" "This could never be", she said pleadingly "Don't ever love me"
