It's hard to love just one
When so many hearts beat as mine
I tried to keep my love for you
But there's too many others on my mind.

If some times you think that I've been cheatin'
Please don't give me all the blame
For it's love that keeps the love light burnin'
It's up to you to kindle the flame.

I have tried, Oh, how I have tried
To let no other in my heart
And I hope, I know your true
Every moment we are apart.

It's hard to love just one
When so many hearts beat as mine
I tried to keep my love for you
But there's too many others on my mind.

Oh, my darling, please don't you forget me
Don't let your heart begin to fade
For I find that as around this world I wonder
I dream of you both night and day.

I know you don't think I love you
For all the nights I've been away
But if you will wait a little longer
You'll have my love both night and day.

It's hard to love just one
When so many hearts beat as mine
I tried to keep my love for you
But there's too many others on my mind...
