Lyrics
He came from his palace grand
He arrived from his majestic residence.
He came to my cottage door
He visited the door of my humble cottage.
His words were few but his looks
He didn't speak much, but his expressions had a lasting impact.
Will linger for evermore
His looks will remain in memory forever.
The look in his sad dark eyes
The expression in his sorrowful, deep eyes
More tender than words could be
More affectionate than any words could convey.
But I was nothing to him
Despite my feelings, I meant little to him.
And he was the world to me.
He meant everything to me.
There in her garden she stands
She stands in her garden, adorned in luxurious satin and lace.
All dressed in fine satin and lace
Lady Mary appears distant and cold.
Lady Mary so cold and so strange
Despite her demeanor, she feels detached and unable to find solace within.
In her heart she could find no place.
She cannot find any emotional connection.
He knew I would be his bride
He anticipated I would be his lifelong partner.
With a kiss for a lifetime fee
With a kiss, securing a commitment for a lifetime.
But I was nothing to him
Despite this, my significance to him was minimal.
And he was the world to me.
He meant the world to me.
Now in his palace grand
Now lying in his opulent residence,
On a flower strewn bed he lies
Upon a bed strewn with flowers,
His beautiful lids are closed
His beautiful eyes closed in eternal rest.
On his sad dark beautiful eyes
His sorrowful, stunning eyes are shut.
And among the mourners who mourn
Among those grieving,
Why should I a mourner be
Why should I mourn?
For I was nothing to him
I meant very little to him.
And he was the world to me.
He meant everything to me.
For I was nothing to him
I was insignificant to him.
And he was the world to me.
He was my whole world.
