He told me so much, and I said nothing. No.
And all that I said was “Jehann, I must go!”

He told me of love, things above and below.
He told me of so much ... I no longer know.

He told me so much, and I said nothing. No.
And all that I said was “Jehann, I must go!”

He kept holding my hands, and he pleaded a lot,
And he asked that I love him, and would I or not.

No, I wasn’t annoyed, but I said nothing. No.
And all that I said was “Jehann, I must go!”

Here I’m sitting and thinking and think day by day
What I should have said was “Jehann, sure, I’ll stay.”

Yet, could I go back I would say nothing. No.
If he clung to me I’d say, “Jehann, I must go!”
