Don't Ever Love Me

"While in that gay tropic isle I first saw that maiden smile Though I had failed in the past I said ""this is true love at last"" But then she whispered to me That our love never could be [Chorus] Destiny, oh when will I see the day? Hopelessly, I've wandered so long this way ""This could never be"" she said pleadingly ""Don't ever love me, I'm just fancy-free"" ""This could never be"" she said pleadingly ""Don't ever love me"" My love was motion and grace The moonlight soft on her face I held her close in my arms My heart was quick to her charms But then I saw in her glance It was just an evening's romance [Chorus] ""This could never be"" she said pleadingly ""Don't ever love me"" "
