about

If I were a mournful dove a pining in a tree
Every day that pretty little girl would come and sing with me
Would come and sing with me, oh Lord, she'd come and sing with me

If I were a silver charm a wrapped in golden twine
Every day she'd keep me close, if she were truly mine
If she were truly mine, oh Lord, if she were truly mine

Wish her love was mine
Beautiful, but bittersweet as wine

If I were a ruby ring with silver band complete
She'd show me off to all the other girls that she would meet
To all the girls, to all the girls she'd meet

And if I were a richer man in high regards esteemed
I wouldn't have to be content with only my daydreams
Only with daydreams, oh Lord, only with my dreams

Bitter love unkind
Beautiful, but never to be mine
