When I was young, I had a lover
But she died one day
So I'll never love another
No, I'll never love another the same
But I see her in the sky
Near that riverbend
She's the moon, she is dressed in white
Oh night, don't end
No, oh

I am growing old
And my knees are growing weak
I miss the one I loved when I was young
She's the only one for me
Oooh, ohhh
Oooh, ohhh

With my worm's eye view
Oh, I'm looking up to you
Praying with your bird's eye, you're looking at me too
I will make my way
Over to the great plains
'Cause next to you, I see heaven's gates
So night, don't end
No, night, no

I am growing old
And my knees are growing weak
I miss the one I loved when I was young
She's the only one for me
Oooh, ohhh
Oooh, ohhh

I am growing old
And my knees are growing weak
I miss the one I loved when I was young
She's the only one for me
Oooh, ohhh
Oooh, ohhh

I will run
'Cause the morning brings the sun
And I will lose you when the night is done
Oh, I will run
'Cause the morning brings the sun
And I will lose you when the night is done, when the night is done
