E..................................B...........E
Oh, childish love, that I could not hold
.....................B...........................E
I thought your love, was a light of gold
E...............................A····..E
But you could write, a few short lines
....................B............................E
To tell your love, ten thousand times

You left me in this world alone
Your childish love, I could not win
You tore apart our little home
A childish love will always end

When you have wed, another man
I hope he'll give his life to you
I'll hope he'll always treat you kind
Just like I did when you were mine

I never hope to wed again
I'll travel down life's path alone
A second love would be in vain
For I will love you on and on

There's just one thing, that I have not told
Your picture's framed in a ring of gold
I'll always wear it on my hand
A diamond sealed in golden band
