She never had too much of money |
|
Friendly strangers were all she knew |
|
Nobody ever came to call but you |
|
I would not say she isn't happy |
|
Though the eyes of a fool will make her blue |
|
Nobody's ever seen the tears it's true |
|
I guess nobody wanted to |
|
We'll have a celebration |
|
Ice cream and candy cakes |
|
She's very young to go so far away |
|
And then there'll be the papers |
|
In black and white to say we're through |
|
Nobody every loved me quite like you |
|
I guess nobody wanted to |
|
And there'll be roses |
|
In the springtime still I guess there will |
|
I wish her roses and song |
|
And she'll be older |
|
As years go by, and how they fly |
|
Will she be lonely without me along? |
|
She doesn't make friends easily |
|
She's only known a few |
|
The incidental stranger passing through |
|
On Sundays and holidays |
|
I'll take her far away |
|
We never tried to save the love we knew |
|
I guess nobody wanted to |
