I'll deck my brow with roses
My true love may be there
And gems that others gave me
Shall shine within my hair
And even them that know me
Will think my heart is light
Though my heart will break tomorrow
I'll be all smiles tonight
I'll be all smiles tonight, love,
I'll be all smiles tonight
Though my heart may break tomorrow
I'll be all smiles tonight.
And when the room he entered
The bride upon his arm
I stood and gazed upon him
As though he was a charm
And then he smiled upon her
As once he smiled on me
They know not what
I suffered
They found no change in me
And when the dance is over
And all have gone to rest
I'll think of him, dear mother
The one that I love best
He once did love, believe me
But now he's cold and strange
He sought not to deceive me
False friends have brought this change
