You Pass Me By lyrics

Words & Music by Hank Snow & Eddie Nesbitt

You Pass Me By, and you don't even stop to say "hello".
Don't know why I've learned to love you so.

Each night it seems I hear you say your love will never die,

I wake from dreams, You Pass Me By.

When you are lonely, some day you'll learn

Just what it means to live in dreams of love that's unreturned.

A love so sweet that vanished with the sunshine in the sky,

Each time we meet, You Pass Me By.

You Pass Me By, and now I know my hopes are all in vain

Here am I alone on mem'ry lane.

I hope and pray, the one you love will never make you cry,

Then turn away and pass you by.

I keep your mem'ry locked in my heart,

Forever there to help me bear the lonely tears that start.

I might have known our love was only meant to be a lie,

Oh, heart of stone, You Pass Me By.
