One by One

One by one the teardrops fall as I write you
 One by one my words come falling on the page
 One by one my dreams are fading in the twilight
 One by one my schemes are fading fast away
 One by one the flowers fading in my garden
 One by one the leaves are falling from the trees
 One by one my hopes are vanished in the clouds clear
 One by one like snowflakes melting in the breeze
 One by one my hair is turning gray
 One by one my dreams are fading fast away
 One by one I read your letters over
 One by one I lay them all away
 One by one the days are slipping up behind you
 One by one the sweetest days of life go by
 One by one the moments stealing out behind you
 One by one she'll come and find not you or I
 One by one I hear the soft words that you whispered
 One by one I feel your kisses soft and sweet
 One by one I hope you'll say the words to marry
 One by one to one by one forever be
