I Paid for the Lie That I Told You

Vera Lynn

I paid for the lie that I told you,
Paid with a million tears;
Why should a moment of madness
Bring me a lifetime of sadness?

I'm sorry now,
And darling I vow
I'll die if we ever part;
I paid for the lie that I told you,
Won't you please take me back, sweetheart?
