I know I shouldn't love you like I do
But I can't help myself to these feelings
Your father does not know what we go through
I know that he thinks that I am stealing
You away from your family and him
I know that he does not approve of us
I know that my chances with you are slim
And since he always makes a great big fuss
Eventually, he'll break us apart
He will tear us into separate wholes
Even though, don't let us fret yet, dear heart
For your father has not yet reached his goals
Even though we may be very far apart,
We will always remain close in the heart
But I can't help myself to these feelings
Your father does not know what we go through
I know that he thinks that I am stealing
You away from your family and him
I know that he does not approve of us
I know that my chances with you are slim
And since he always makes a great big fuss
Eventually, he'll break us apart
He will tear us into separate wholes
Even though, don't let us fret yet, dear heart
For your father has not yet reached his goals
Even though we may be very far apart,
We will always remain close in the heart
