Lyrics:

I once had a love and oh... I loved her very dearly
She told me she loved me so, I thought she spoke sincerely
But one day, away, I found that she had flown
And off to find that love of mine I set alone
Looking high... high... high, looking low... low... low
Wondering why... why... why did she go... go... go
For if I... I... I don't find my love, I know
I shall die... die... die 'cause I love her so
I journeyed across the sea, I sought her with devotion
Oh... where she could really be, I'd not the slightest notion
But so bright the light of love within me shone
I knew full well, what ever befell, I must go on
Looking high... high... high, looking low... low... low
Wondering why... why... why did she go... go... go
For if I... I... I don't find my love, I know
I shall die... die... die 'cause I love her so
Due east over desert sands and west where grass is greener
I asked in a dozen lands, but none had ever seen her
It was clear, I fear, my quest was all in vain
So I departed, sad at heart, for home again
Looking high... high... high, looking low... low... low
Wondering why... why... why did she go... go... go
For if I... I... I don't find my love, I know
I shall die... die... die 'cause I love her so
But when I arrived, all brown and tanned by wind and weather
You sure could have knocked me down with the proverbial feather
She stood there, so fair, and sweetly she confessed
That she'd been wrong, and all along she'd loved me best
I'd looked high... high... high, I'd looked low... low... low
Wondering why... why... why did she go... go... go
Now that I... I... I have found my love, I know
'Til I die... die... die, I will love her so
(Looking high... high... high, looking low... low... low)
(Wondering why... why... why did she go... go... go)
for if I... I... I don't find my love, I know
I shall die... die... die 'cause I love her so
(Looking high... high... high)
