I Wish I Had Died in My Cradle - Gene Austin

You say our romance is over

After I’ve wasted these years

The smiles that I knew,

You’ve taken with you

Leaving me only the tears

I wish I had never seen sunshine

I wish had never seen rain

I wish that your soul had not been my goal

A prize that I sought all in vain

I wish I had never seen sunshine

I only wish someone had told me

The love that you gave was untrue

I wish I had died in my cradle

Before I grew up loving you

I only wish someone had told me

The love that you gave was untrue

I wish I had died in my cradle

Before I grew up loving you
