One little word


The dream of love is over
Today we said goodbye
We parted not in anger
Though tears came in her eyes
Twas just as fate decreed dear
That we must never wed
Yet in her heart she loved me
She married wealth instead
One little word could change my future life
One little word could have made her my wife
Too late too late now my fondest hopes are dead
One little word that word was never said
In school days we had been sweethearts
She was her father's pride
Her folks lived in a mansion
Our cottage by its side
Though years have brought their changes
The same old love still holds
She wed to please her parents
A man of wealth and gold

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Carter Family was one of the most influential folk groups in American history. Formed in Virginia in the 1920s, the group consisted of A.P. Carter (who wrote many songs), his wife Sara Carter, and their cousin Maybelle Carter, who played guitar with a unique picking technique called "Carter Scratch". Their music, characterized by impeccable vocal harmonies and lyrics often drawn from rural life, had a profound impact on country, bluegrass, gospel, and the folk revival of the 1960s. Among the Carter Family's most famous songs are "Keep on the Sunny Side", "Wildwood Flower", and "Can the Circle Be Unbroken". Their music continues to be enjoyed and reinterpreted by artists from diverse generations.
