First Line: What do I owe to you
Last Line: That led through heaven's wall.
Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.
Subject(s): Love
What do I owe to you
Who loved me deep and long?
You never gave my spirit wings
Or gave my heart a song.
But oh, to him I loved,
Who loved me not at all,
I owe the open gate
That led through heaven's wall.
