Lyrics

All the time I'm sorry
Thinking about the sweetheart who rejected me
Who can help me?
The first glimpse of her, I was in love with her
And I put her in my heart
Where she could live happily
I took her along on my road
Where she left me all by myself
And she took my heart

We had many dreams
When I promised her the wedding rings
She told me she loved me
And I said how happy our families would be
Dancing on the big night.
