Gilbert Blythe
He was just an old chum,
Gilbert Blythe
I was wrong but he made
Things right
We were only friends
I believed with all my heart
But he wanted more
And I tore him apart
"You just think you love me"
I persisted
But he resisted saying I haven't heard him
Only I did
And every night at Kingsport
I would have to go
Without his precious support
Mr. Harris said he loved me too
But I didn't love him
Because the only person I could love
"Was you"
Gilbert Blythe
When I went home
To my beloved Green Gables
I couldn't stand to know
You could possibly die
I came to see you
And it took all I had
Not to cry
I saw your life flash before me
A life with death
And never a time for us
To really be
I prayed you'd get well
Because when I got your letter
I knew I'd never meet anyone better
Christine was fortunate to have you
But now I wanted you too
"There's not going to be a wedding"
I heard
"There will never be anyone for me, but you"
And it took everything I had
Not to cry "Me too"
When you were well
You said "There won't be any diamond sunbursts or marble halls"
"I don't want any sunbursts or marble halls. I just want you"
Gilbert Blythe
You are my sunburst
You are my marble hall
With you, in love I will fall
Gilbert Blythe
You, my beloved,
All along were right.
