I once had a love, and oh
I loved her very dearly
She told me she loved me so
I thought she spoke sincerely
But one day, away
I found that she had flown
And off to find that love of mine
I set alone
Looking high, high, high
Looking low, low, low
Wondering: "Why, why, why
Did she go, go, go?"
For if I, I, I
Don't find my love, I know
I shall die, die, die
'Cause I love her so
I journeyed across the sea
I sought her with devotion
"Oh, where she could really be?
I've not the slightest notion"
But so bright the light
Of love within me shone
I knew full well, what ever befell
I must go on
Looking high, high, high
Looking low, low, low
Wondering: "Why, why, why
Did she go, go, go?"
For if I, I, I
Don't find my love, I know
I shall die, die, die
'Cause I love her so
Due east over desert sands
Due west where grass is greener
I asked in a dozen lands
But none had ever seen her
It was clear, I fear
My quest was all in vain
So I departed, sad at heart
For home again
Looking high, high, high
Looking low, low, low
Wondering: "Why, why, why
Did she go, go, go?"
For if I, I, I
Don't find my love, I know
I shall die, die, die
'Cause I love her so
But when I arrived, all brown
And tanned by wind and weather
You sure could have knocked me down
With the proverbial feather
She stood there, so fair
And sweetly she confessed
That she'd been wrong, and all along
She'd loved me best
I'd looked high, high, high
I'd looked low, low, low
Wondering: "Why, why, why
Did she go, go, go?"
Now that I, I, I
Have found my love, I know
Till I die, die, die
I will love her so
(Looking high, high, high)
(Looking low, low, low)
(Wondering: "Why, why, why)
(Did she go, go, go?")
For if I, I, I
Don't find my love, I know
I shall die, die, die
'Cause I love her so
(Looking high, high, high)
