It takes a lot of weary time
'Fore the hurtin' starts to ease
I've spent a lot of weary nights
Alone and on my knees.
I was so blind I could not see
What she was doing to me
She's gone and left me for someone
And now she says she's free.
Now she's gone it seems so cruel
Makes me feel I'm such a fool
Now she's gone I feel so blue
Don't know what to do.
And how I wish I could have known
That love is best when free
And how I wish I could have shown
How much she meant to me.
Now she's gone it seems so cruel
Makes me feel I'm such a fool
Now she's gone I feel so blue
Don't know what to do.
Young love is great so people say
I can't believe it's true
It goes away like yesterday
And fades into the blue.
Now she's gone it seems so cruel
Makes me feel I'm such a fool
Now she's gone I feel so blue
Don't know what to do.
