I Loved You Better Than You Knew - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
I Loved You Better than You Knew. Copyright. 1893. by Chas. W. Hold. Worda and Music by Johnnie Carroll. 
Our hands are clasped, the last forever, Perhaps we'll never meet again; I loved you as I could none other; This parting fills my heart with pain; You ask, and freely I forgive you, The happy past I must forget; And though I wander on in sorrow, I hope that you'll be happy yet. 
Chorus. As through this weary world I wander, My thoughts alone will be of you; in mem'ry I will see you ever: I loved you better than you knew. 
Perhaps, when I have gone forever, You'll sometimes sit and think of me, And wonder if I'm dead or living; Perchance I'll think the same of thee; And when your friends have all departed, The friends you thought were tried and true, Remember one you left heart-broken Had loved you better than you knew.-Chorus
