The days go by and by
Yet still she refuses to try
Her heart is broken
With every word spoken
She's lost and she's hurt
The weeks go by and by
No longer can she cry
They look at her with hate
But, maybe, it's just her fate
She's hurt and she's hopeless
The months go by and by
She sees the look in his eye
But she doesn't know what to do
With feelings so difficult to subdue
She's hopeless, but she's thinking
The years go by and by
She now begins to try
He looks at her and says, "I do."
With all her heart, she does too
She's thinking that she's found
